FEBRUARY, 1946 FILM AND RADIO GUIDE 25 Young MacDonald (Orson Welles) bids good-by to his wife (Claudette Colbert). Elizabeth MacDonald receives notice that her husband has been killed in action. screen, introduced by the shade of “The Great Ziegfeld” in the other world, still intent upon producing girly-girly shows on earth. With all his earthly experience back of him, “The Great Ziegfeld” plans a masterpiece that he hopes will excel anything that he produced in his living career. Gifted now with more than usual knowledge he calls upon such stars as Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, Lucille Bremer, Fanny Brice, Judy Garland, Kathryn Grayson, Lena Horne, Gene Kelly, James Melton, Victor Moore, Red Skelton, Esther Williams, Edward Arnold, and others. With all these to carry out action, he devises scenes of startling color and activity and produces beauty and laughter. A lovely water-ballet precedes Keenan Wynn trying vainly to make a telephone call. Victor Moore becomes tangled in a misdemeanor and employs a too energetic lawyer ; Fanny Brice wins the Irish sweepstakes ; Judy Garland, a great lady of the movies, gives a press interview ; and Fred Astaire dances at his liveliest. Lavish scenery, gay costumes, and bevies of beautiful Ziegfeld girls take one, as it were, to the very front seats of a dazzling Broadway production. Unless one is altogether liverish, he will enjoy the laughter and the liveliness, as well as the beauty, of Ziegfeld Follies.
