GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933
May 4, 2013  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Love this movie. It’s a Depression-era musical about the Depression – and is meta enough to actually be about artists trying to band together and raise money to put on a show about the Depression. It starts off as goofy as you can get, with Ginger Rogers singing “We’re in the Money” in Pig Latin – but ends with a punch to the gut, a returning-war-veterans production number called “Remember My Forgotten Man.” Once you see it, you’ll never forget it.
