Clarendon Hills Library Movie Matinee: Gold Diggers of 1933

Enjoy this Busby Berkeley classic!

Monday, May 18th at 1:30 pm, the Clarendon Hills Library will host a free screening of Gold Diggers of 1933. Released at the height of the Great Depression, this film provided escapist entertainment at its best with stars Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell and Joan Blondell, and choreographer/director Busby Berkeley. The notable exception is the musical number “Remember My Forgotten Man,” a gritty evocation of Depression-era poverty that Berkeley was inspired to create after witnessing the 1932 Veterans March on Washington.


Refreshments will be served.
