The Great Ziegfeld Movie Review 1936

Information and Film Reviews for The Great Ziegfeld the Movie

Staff rating


Visitor rating
4.0 from 0 reviews

Big bio-pic of the famous showman; acclaimed in its time as the best musical biography ever done, still considered the textbook for how to make a musical. Look for cameo roles by many famous stars, as well as a walk-on role by future First Lady Pat Nixon. The movie would have stood up as a first-rate biography of Ziegfeld, even without the drop-dead wonderful songs.
