HBO Bryant Park Film Festival: Gold Diggers of 1933

Monday, June 29 5:00p
at Bryant Park, Manhattan, NY
Price: Free
Age Suitability: All Ages

New York's most popular outdoor film festival returns to Bryant Park once again this year. Every Monday night at sunset, catch film classics, like The Sting, and oddball romances, like Harold & Maude, while enjoying an evening in the park. This week, bring a friend to see Gold Diggers of 1933 on the big screen.

During the Great Depression, Hollywood did its best to distract the movie going public from the dark days of economic gloom with upbeat, escapist fare. Busby Berkeley, a master illusionist, was a wizard at staging spectacular musical numbers that transported viewers to a glitzy never-never land.

We're in the money, indeed! Aspiring Broadway chorines (Ginger Rogers, Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell) do what they must to get on with the show, while Dick Powell croons the tunes.

The lawn opens at 5:00pm for blankets and picnicking. The films begin at dusk (typically between 8pm and 9pm).
