Gold Diggers in Paris (1938)

The Gold Diggers are headed for Paris, bringing their feathers, frills, New Yawk tawk -- and ballet shoes! A French diplomat has mistaken 43rd Street's Club Balle for the American Academy Ballet, and the chorus cuties aren't going to turn down a free trip to the City of Light over such a tiny misunderstanding. As one Gold Digger explains to her Gallic friend: Just tell me how to say "yes" in French. Rudy Vallee stars as the club's impresario and Busby Berkeley creates and directs the inventive musical numbers for Gold Diggers in Paris, a movie musical both magnifique and loaded with moxie. Lafayette, they are here!
