The Great Ziegfeld
The Sensation of the Century!
Directed by Robert Z. Leonard
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A lavish, energetic biographical spectacle celebrating the ambition and showmanship of a theatrical impresario, built on grand musical numbers and romantic entanglements.
At the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, sideshow barker Florenz Ziegfeld turns the tables on his more-successful neighbor Billings, and also steals his girlfriend. This pattern repeats throughout their lives, as Ziegfeld makes and loses many fortunes putting on ever-bigger, more spectacular shows
