Ziegfeld Girl
GREATEST MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA OF ALL TIME!
Directed by Robert Z. Leonard
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A lavish 1941 musical revue that follows three women's entanglement with fame, romance, and moral compromise on Broadway, balancing spectacle with the darker costs of ambition.
Discovery by Flo Ziegfeld changes a girl's life but not necessarily for the better, as three beautiful women find out when they join the spectacle on Broadway: Susan, the singer who must leave behind her ageing vaudevillian father; vulnerable Sheila, the working girl pursued both by a millionaire and by her loyal boyfriend from Flatbush; and the mysterious European beauty Sandra, whose concert violinist husband cannot endure the thought of their escaping from poverty by promenading her glamor in skimpy costumes.
