Just finished watching Gold Diggers of 1933 on the heels of learning about the Golden Age of pre-Hays code Hollywood and now I can't get "Pettin' in the Park" out of my head!

"Remember My Forgotten Man" is the climactic number from the 1933 Warner Bros. film #GoldDiggersof1933, directed/choreographed by Busby Berkeley. It serves as a poignant, realistic critique of Depression-era #poverty and the neglect of World War I #veterans.

I was satisfied to drift along from day to day
Till they came and took my man away
Remember my forgotten man
You put a rifle in his hand
You sent him far away
You shouted: "Hip-hooray!"
But look at him today
Remember my forgotten man

Happy #letterboxdfriday everyone! Here are my #lastfourwatched films from this week. I had a pretty good week film wise. My favorite was probably #golddiggersof1933 which was a backstage musical about Broadway during the great depression.

The forgotten man scene...three arches of soldiers marching to a moody music theme
A policeman was ready to toss this "bum" until he saw his WWI medal...
One of the most "American" film scenes of all time, the closíng number: The Forgotten Man.

The amount of overt sexiness in this movie is remarkable even for the era, where they got away with a lot.

Henry is the best. ❤️ And I definitely see him directing a movie. #GoldDIggersOf1933 #TCMParty

Poster for the 1932 film I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang
An interesting bookend to #GoldDiggersOf1933 is a film made the year before– also directed by Mervyn LeRoy and also shot masterfully by Warners leading lensman, Sol Polito–#IAmAFugitiveFromAChainGang, which dramatized the life of one of the "forgotten men", played by Paul Muni. Still shocking today.
So great. Can't wait to hear Henry's outro. #GoldDIggersOf1933 #TCMParty
Tuning in just in time to have Joan Blondell break my heart.

This number packs an unbelievable wallop.
My mother still can talk about the Depression, the apple sellers, the pencil sellers, the bread lines, the people making “tomato soup” from ketchup and hot water at Horn & Hardart

Should be noted that this film is enabler to my drinking 🥂 #tcmparty #golddiggersof1933

After retiring from singing, Moten was active in many Chicago-area institutions including the @LyricOpera, the @FieldMuseum, and the @DuSableMuseum.

The Forgotten Man number is powerful to this day. #GoldDiggersOf1933 #TCMParty
And we still treat our Vets like crap. And it’s almost 100 years later.

George Gershwin wanted Etta Moten to star as Bess in his Broadway musical “Porgy and Bess”. She agreed, but would not sing the ‘n-word’ which Gershwin promptly removed from the libretto.
