'''''Gold Diggers of 1933''''' is a 1933 pre-[[Hays Code|Code]] [[Warner Bros.]] musical film directed by Mervyn LeRoy with songs by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, staged and choreographed by [[Busby Berkeley]].
The "gold diggers" are four aspiring actresses: Polly, Carol, Trixie, and Fay. The movie follows the efforts of the actresses to survive in the [[The Great Depression|Depression]]-era city. Their misadventures make up the bulk of the film, and the rest of the film is filled with musical numbers lavishly choreographed by Busby Berkeley.
Line 20:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Billy Barty, who was a [[Busby Berkeley]] regular.
** [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The second hat delivery boy is Sterling Holloway, who later became a [[Disney]] regular that provided the voices for [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|The Cheshire Cat]], [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Kaa]], and [[The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh|Winnie the Pooh]].
* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: The opening number, in which [[Ginger Rogers]] goes to town with some catchy Pig Latin in one verse.
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJOjTNuuEVw E're-way in-hay the oney-may!]" Makes perfect <s>sense</s> [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cents]].
* [[May-December Romance]]: Between Fanuel ("Fanny") Peabody and Trixie Lorraine.
