Ziegfield Follies is an unusual film as it has no plot. That's a good thing because you don't have to worry about unrealistic plot lines or the lack of depth in characters. It doesn't need a plot at all. Instead, it is a series of musical/comedy numbers which have nothing to do with each other. Most of them are musical, only two or three are comedy sketches.
Although SOME scenes do drag on for a while, you can simply press FWD like I did. But some are just simply lavish in every way: costume, dance, colour, sets, props... the glory of technicolour! It is truly beautiful, you have to appreciate the hard work they put into this magnificent show.
The singing, dancing and music is wonderful. My favourite is the dance between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, or maybe the Finale. I definitely recommend this movie to all musical buffs... to others, this film may appear incredibly boring. Personally, I very much enjoyed it. A joy.
