The Great Ziegfeld
William Powell, Myrna Loy, Luise Rainer, Frank Morgan, Fanny Brice
| released: 1936 Mar 22 | duration: 3:05:55 |
At the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, sideshow barker Flo Ziegfeld turns the tables on his more successful neighbor Billings, and also steals his girlfriend. This pattern is repeated throughout their lives, as Ziegfeld makes and loses many fortunes putting on ever bigger, more spectacular shows, sections of which appear in this film. French revue star Anna Held becomes his first wife, but being married to the man who "glorified the American girl" is not so glorious. Late in life, now married to Billie Burke, he seems to be all washed up. But is he?
At 07:30, for 18 seconds we see 2 jugglers far in the background in
the upper left corner of the screen, first a man in a black shirt and
white sleeves
juggles 3 balls,
and then as we pan to the left a man juggles 3 clubs with slow high
triple spins.
The entire movie may be seen here.
