Footlight Parade (1933)

The film depicts a period in the life of a musical director turned "prologue" producer. Prologues were short musical films exhibited before features.

An interesting film, divided in two parts. First, we see a fairly realistic depiction of the troubles of producing musical films. Then we see their product, in the form of three Berkeley numbers.
Number 10 in Dale Thomajan's top ten of 1933.

Rating: 51
