	Ziegfeld Follies (1946) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		That may be the case, but the legendary showman could have drafted his dream show a little better than by pooling into the talent pools at MGM alone.
		Behind “Follies” was probably the entire writers department at MGM, who couldn’t even come up with one decent story.
		“Follies” is one of those musicals that wants to be a part of the greats at MGM with “Singin’ in the Rain”, “The Wizard of Oz” and “An American in Paris”, but cannot get past the stages of longingly pressing its nose up against a glass palette window.

	The Works of Author Adele Kenny
		There is, however, another type of folly – the architectural folly – that captures the imagination and delights the eye with spectacularly curious, idiosyncratic, and sometimes outrageously odd structures.
		The concept of the architectural folly originated during the eighteenth century when affluent estate owners considered it de rigueur to have ruined buildings peering through the vast expanses of their landscapes.
		Architectural follies may seem the height of conceit and thoughtless indulgence when considered within the historical context of an era in which abject poverty was endemic: the cost involved in the construction of a single folly might have fed several starving families for many months or saved others from the privations of the workhouse.

		Abbey took his groups far and wide around the globe well before the U.S. State Department figured out that this form of American music could be so helpful in maintaining at least some goodwill toward the superpower.

	Amazon.ca: Will Rogers at the Ziegfeld Follies: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Born in Oklahoma, he first appeared in the theater in 1905 when he played the part of a cowboy doing rope tricks; Rogers began making asides to the audience, and soon his skill as a monologist eclipsed his talents with a lasso.
		He appeared in various versions of the Follies (where he formed close friendships with entrepreneur Flo Ziegfeld and fellow comics W. Fields and Eddie Cantor) from 1915 to 1925, and he changed his patter nightly to comment on what he had read in the day's newspapers--an innovation at the time.
		Will Rogers at the Ziegfield Follies re-creates an exciting era when audiences laughed at the homespun humor of one of the most popular and influential Americans of the twentieth century.

	Funny Girl Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Streisand was already a stage and singing star when producer Ray Stark tapped her to reprise her Broadway role of Fanny Brice for the screen adaptation of Funny Girl, the movie that sent her into the stratosphere.
		Funny Girl is ostensibly a biography of vaudeville star Brice from her beginnings as the chorus girl fired because of her skinny legs and the fact that she doesn't "look like the rest of the girls" to her rise as the premier attraction of the legendary Ziegfield Follies.
		Though she receives fine support from Sharif, Walter Pidgeon as Florenz Ziegfield, and Kay Medford as Fanny's mother, the success of this nearly two-and-a-half-hour epic rests firmly on Streisand's slim shoulders.

		Without giving the impression that sympathy is being sought, the job of "critic" or "reviewer" or "asshole," whatever label you like, is not even vaguely a simple one.
		Entertainment with a capital "E." Peter Stone's book is slim, a bunch of Will Rogers' jokes and a pared-down version of his life story, but not much more than the basics, all surrounded by the milieu of the Ziegfield Follies.
		I also liked the "Favorite Son" number, despite the bizarre, distracting costumes that make the Ziegfield ladies look as though they all have large, fuzzy breasts with red, white, and blue nipples.

		Will Rogers was born in 1879 and died in 1935, but he packed enough living into those years to fill a dozen lifetimes.
		It's designed to be rip-roaring fun, the telling of Rogers' life as if it were a Ziegfield Follies show, featuring an opening number rich in American Indian heritage, "wonderful music, and tall, leggy women," Decker says.
		Besides the opening ensemble, which she isn't in, Decker most enjoys her torch song "No Man Left For Me," a second-act number she sings on a piano.
