Send us a text

This podcast is one of a series looking back at some highlights from the 2021 Blu-ray releases from the Warner Archive.

Warner Bros executive George Feltenstein takes us through the June 2021 Blu-ray release of the 1946 classic film, "Zeigfeld Follies."  Starring an ensemble cast of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, Esther Williams, Lucille Bremer, Fanny Brice, Lena Horne, and many more, this beloved film is an imperfect classic made up of dance numbers, comedy sketches, and lots of beautiful girls, as was typical of the Ziegfeld tradition.  

George provides background on the complex production challenges the movie faced over multiple years of filming.  And his insights into the songs, dance routines, and behind-the-scenes stories make for an entertaining review of both the film and Blu-ray release.

The June 2021 Blu-ray of "Ziegfeld Follies" is another of the many technicolor restorations from the Warner Archive in 2021, and finally allows viewers to see the film in the glorious color and detail of the original film.
