Broadway impresario Florenz Ziegfeld brought his legendary "Follies" to the silver screen in this story about the rise of a showgirl, culminating in a Ziegfeld extravaganza.
From time to time, the camera cuts away to the many celebrities enjoying the show, including journalist Ring Lardner, nightclub doyenne Texas Guinan, New York mayor Jimmy Walker, Paramount Pictures head man Adolph Zukor, and Flo Ziegfeld himself, accompanied by his then-wife, Billie Burke. And yes, that's Johnny Weissmuller on-stage as a provocatively undraped "Nature Boy."
