About Ziegfeld Follies
The late, great impresario Florenz Ziegfeld looks down from heaven and ordains a new revue in his grand old style.
Directed by Vincente Minnelli, Lemuel Ayers, Roy Del Ruth, George Sidney, Robert Lewis, Ziegfeld Follies leans on a strong ensemble — William Powell, Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1945.
