Episode 61: The Great Ziegfeld
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
The winner of 1936, The Great Ziegfeld is absolute Academy cat nip: a big flashy musical that’s also a biopic, almost three hours long and lousy with famous stars, and generally a celebration of the entertainment industry— Hollywood loves few things more than a movie about itself. But is it any good?
