"Gold Diggers In Paris" is included in a large Busby Berkeley DVD collection along with 8 other films, but comedy and singing far overshadow dancing in this one. The songs are undistinguished, and as for the comedy....only the talking dog made me laugh. There is only one big dance number, in the last 10 minutes, which is enjoyable but, from what I've seen (I'm no expert in the man's work, it has to be said) far from prime Berkeley. The film's major "discovery" is the Schnickelfritz Band: they are good in small doses, but they get too much coverage (they never appeared in anything else, according to IMDb). Apart from that talking dog, the most lively performer is Mabel Todd. ** out of 4.
