Arts at the Palace is pleased to present the first of a free, three-part film discussion series with film professional Juliette Fahey.
Gold-Diggers of 1933, directed by Marvyn LerRoy and Busby Berkeley: This pre-code Hollywood classic follows four young aspiring actresses, Polly, Carol, Trixie, and Fay as they work to put together a spectacular stage-show with the help of their neighbor and wealthy singer-songwriter, Brad. But as production is underway, the show is threatened by the revelation that Brad is in fact the son of a millionaire whose family disapproves of Brad’s ties with theater. With stunning choreography produced by Busby Berkeley, this Depression era backstage musical is filled with dazzling dance sequences and comedic hijinks.
Watch Gold Diggers on your own (currently available to stream on Amazon Prime, rental fee may apply).
Then join us on Friday, September 10th at 7 pm on Zoom for a rich, informal discussion about the film. Register below for a Zoom link.
Mark your calendars for all three of the Fall 2021 Virtual Film Club series! Email director@artsatthepalace.org if you would like us to sign you up for all three events (September 10th, October 8th, November 5th) .
Excited to be a part of a program here at Arts at the Palace, Juliette Fahey previously studied at Boston University and the University of Pittsburgh where she learned about the history and production of tv, media, and film. She currently works as a videographer in Boston. In her free time, Juliette enjoys running along the Charles River and trying out cool new recipes.
