Topic: The Goldwyn Follies


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  'S Marvelous - The Music Lives On!
These include the 1945 biopic "Rhapsody in Blue"; the rare original version of "Girl Crazy" (1932); the spectacular revue "The Goldwyn Follies" (1938), during the making of which George Gershwin suddenly died, and the masterpiece "An American in Paris" (1951).
The brothers wrote scores for "Shall We Dance" and "A Damsel in Distress," while Sam Goldwyn wanted them for his spectacular revue "The Goldwyn Follies." This was an exciting time, filled with high promise.
When George demonstrated his "Follies" songs to the great producer, he was told to try "writing hits like Irving Berlin, songs you can whistle." This only made Gershwin's headaches worse.

"The Goldwyn Follies" has not fared well with critics even from the time it was first released, some of whom have called it one of the worst films ever made.
Part of the problem seems to be that Samuel Goldwyn attempted to out-Ziegfeld Ziegfeld, and in the process released a film that, while entertaining, seems rather disjointed.

 The Goldwyn Follies (1938)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
George Balanchine wanted to film a ballet of Gershwin's "An American in Paris" for this movie, He choreographed and rehearsed it for three weeks but was told by Goldwyn that "the miners in Harrisburg wouldn't understand it." The ballet was later used in An American in Paris (1951), choreographed by Gene Kelly.
Plus a wonderful cultural record of Jepson's singing (if only Goldwyn had gotten Pinza doing a scene from "Don Giovanni" as well), Zorina's dancing, Balanchine's choreography, and two of Gershwin's finest songs (despite some viewer's comment that "Love Walked In" is insipid, it has always been my personal favorite).
Add to this wonderful sets and costumes, masterfully photographed by Toland (in one of his few efforts in color), and you have a movie that while being a failure as a work of art, is immensely worth seeing as a record of the times.
