	Florenz Ziegfeld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ziegfeld never married Anna, but they maintained a common-law relationship, outrageously scandalous in that day; it ended in 1913, allegedly because he moved his mistress into the apartment above theirs.

		Flo first displayed his talent for promotion as a child when he sold tickets to the neighborhood kids to see his school of "invisible fish" which turned out to be nothing more than a glass bowl filled with water.
		Flo organized a publicity blitz for Anna, so that by the time they returned from Europe she was already a celebrity.
		Ziegfeld featured Anna in seven Broadway musicals over the next 12 years and she became one of the first big stars of the era thanks to Ziegfeld’s mastery of publicity.

	Ziegfeld: A Biography
		Ziegfeld so embellished his life for publicity purposes that it is often hard to separate the facts from his creative fictions.
		In later years, Flo would claim that at age 16 he ran off with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and beat Annie Oakley in an 1883 shooting match – but since Oakley did not begin touring until 1885, odds are that this was one of Ziegfeld's many self-perpetuated legends.
		Ziegfeld, who suffered all his life from a morbid fear of death, refused to attend her funeral.

	Florenz Ziegfeld and The Ziegfeld Follies
		Ziegfeld defended Williams against the racism of others and even once threatened to move out of his apartment building when the doorman refused entry to Williams who was coming to Ziegfeld's home for dinner.
		Though completely broke as a result of his daring move, Ziegfeld's contract with Held was as good as gold and he managed to finance himself based on that contract until she arrived and could generate revenues from performance.
		Also in 1910, Ziegfeld added a fabulous stunt where the star Lillian Lorraine rode onto the stage on a pony and the stage elevator lifted them onto a swing and she and the pony swung high over the audience as the swing rode around a track in the ceiling.

		The legendary Florenz Ziegfeld was the consummate showman who, in the 1907-32 period "glorified the American girl" in a series of Broadway productions that made him (and them) famous the world over.
		Powell is strangely touching as Ziegfeld; his performance conveys many facets about the man: his esthetically impeccable and exquisite taste, his unique genius in his chosen field - and even his financial impracticality.
		Otherwise, things are pretty dull: in fitting with the usual santization of public figures' lives in biopics, Flo Ziegfeld is not a philanderer at all, but rather a poor completely honorable sap who keeps getting trapped in compromising situations by drunk showgirls like Virginia Bruce.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Ziegfeld Follies
		As disasters go, Ziegfeld Follies, given general release by MGM in 1946, probably doesn’t rank very high on the long list of overripe, misconceived, misbegotten turkeys that have rumbled down the Hollywood pipeline over the past fifty or sixty years.
		Unfortunately, the material the suits pulled together for Ziegfeld Follies was mediocre at best, and more often just plain lousy, while the set designs and costumes, which reek of hashish and crème de menthe, resemble nothing so much as an explosion in Liberace’s wardrobe cabinet.
		The revised version of Ziegfeld Follies begins with a clumsy frame — the late Flo Ziegfeld, sitting up in heaven and thinking about those wonderful shows he used to do back on earth.

	The Great Ziegfeld (1936) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		"The Great Ziegfeld" is a grandiose, three hour, BandW cinematic opus that chronicles the true story (more or less) of the professional life of legendary producer/showman "Flo" Ziegfeld, played convincingly by William Powell.
		The set, resembling a wedding cake, is about as tall as it is wide, with the stage curtain rising to what seems like stratospheric heights.
		Overall, "The Great Ziegfeld" is fun, and definitely worth watching, especially as a time capsule to an entertainment era that is gone forever.

		Ziegfeld Follies ended up costing MGM $3,240,816.86 by the time it was released for good on April 8, 1946.
		But it was such a stupendous production, involving so many egos and temperaments, that I ended up doing nothing but cracking a rhinestone-studded whip over eight fl panthers.

		The three-hour movie is packed with recreated show vignettes illustrating Ziegfeld's dreams of "glorifying the American girl." His grand ideas and master PR skills enabled him to put on some exceedingly lavish shows, however his impractical financial decisions usually resulted in squandered fortunes.
		All the best scenes are with Ziegfeld's wife, played by Luise Rainer, and she quite deserved the Oscar she got for this performance.
		Her scene on the phone where she is devastated, but keeps her chin up, is a classic moment, and one that pulls the heartstrings and will make even the hardest of hearts melt.

		The true facts of Flo Ziegfeld's marriage to soubrette Billie Burke may never be known, but Eve Golden's 2000 biography of Anna Held gave a good, wide-screen picture of his charm and business savvy.
		Her famous phone scene won her the Oscar; when she uses the telephone to congratulate Flo on his marriage to Billie Burke, her regret and sorrow and loss play directly into the camera, which seems to eat them up like so much chocolate.
		Though the offstage Billie Burke must have been more of a femme fatale than we think of "Glinda" as being, she denied, for example, having sex with Flo while he was still married to Anna.

		Then she has a telephone scene that is one of the most overrated scenes for me in Hollywood's history as she congratulates Flo on his marriage to Billie.
		The last 45 minutes of THE GREAT ZIEGFELD has Harriet Hocter play herself for another opulent musical number, "A Circus Should Be Bigger in a Ziegfeld Show." A young lady from the film's first half hour, Sally, gets a show named after her.
		We are up to the 1920s, and Ziegfeld has four shows running on Broadway at the same time.

		For the sake of continuity, Judy Garland is costumed and made up to resemble Virginia Bruce, who crowned the "Wedding Cake" set in the earlier film.
