Question

The second paragraph should discuss why the number might have been included in the film, even though it does contradict the usual characteristics of a musical/screwball comedy.

Answer 1

In the year 2003 the film of 1933 ‘The Gold Digger’ was chosen as a United States Library of congress slough for its contribution to the history, culture, ascetics, and its significance for the US lifestyle. The film was been made in 1933 a period of Great Depression of the united states where the actors were living a life of many constrains but could gather Brad the composer along with a 15000 USD aid in those days for the production of the drama which later was a silent film. The lack of money and motivation was the first instance that the film has to counter and on the first night, Brad had to perform for the lead role as the senior leadership was incapable to show up on the night. Nevertheless, the film and the drama got huge applause but the lawyers of Brad’s family who disliked the sector were concerned and made Brand get the notion that he has been high jacked by the ‘Gold Diggers’ who were behind his money.
Being a musical comedy with various plots the story used the number in the production like ‘We’re in the money’ like numbers. The drama evolved with time since 1933 to add many more aspects in the musical which was thus released as 42nd Street, a huge success of musicals that was conceptualized in 1933. So the film was made as a Warner Brother production of USD 433000 for the release on 27th of May 1933. The numbers suggested the changes in the plat of the original script and songs which then got modified and diversified to be the success of that period.
