SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

richspenc The "Great 5" 1930s Busby Burkely productions, which were fabulous, were "42nd St", "Footlight parade", "Dames", "Gold diggers 33", and "Gold diggers 35". Then came a few where the levels of beauty and magic started lessening some. Gold diggers 37" was a step down from the great 5, but still better than "Hollywood hotel", "Varsity show", and "Gold diggers Paris". They represented a temporary slump in Busby's career, which he did recover from and then made the wonderful Judy Garland / Mickey Rooney films such as "Strike up the band", "Girl crazy", "Babes in arms", and "Babes on Broadway". I'm not sure if Judy's 1938 film "Everybody sing", the films "Broadway melody 36", "38", and "40", "Born to dance", and "Rosalie" were all Busby's but they were fabulous also. Also wonderful films were "The great Ziegfeld" and "Ziegfeld girl". All of the films I've listed in this paragraph are wonderful Golden Age magic. Anyway, about "Gold diggers 37"; there were a couple numbers not as great as the songs in the "Great 5". One of them was "Speakin of the weather" which did have an inferior lacking. But there were two great numbers. "Love and war" which was closer in visual style to the show numbers of the earlier films, very good Then was the beautiful number in the middle at the dance by the pool "Let's put our heads together" which had the wonderful passion and very nice singing of the numbers in the previous films. I loved the sweet old fashioned singing and all those pretty girls in their beautiful floor length dresses, and swimming in the pool too. There was just one brief not very good few seconds in that number, and that was two very nerdy guys at the bar singing with their arms around each other and singing in stupid annoying voices, which bared resemblance to more characters in Busby's next not so great films, such as the stupid annoying band players in "Gold diggers in Paris". But that display of those two annoying characters here only lasted a total of 4 or 5 seconds and then went back to the rest of that number which was more of the old fashioned magic which made the song as a whole very nice.Not helping this film any was the miserable, whiny character of Victor Moore. I know he was not supposed to be happy, but he could of toned it down a few notches and still presented his problems to the viewers as convincing. Victor played the same kind of miserable whiny character in "Ziegfeld follies" in his "Just pay em the two dollars!" skit. But we only had to endure him there for ten minutes, not for a large portion of a film like here. I can't figure out what beauty Glenda Ferral saw in him when he had an attitude like that. I know that her kindness was just an act at first but she then started falling for him for real. She was initially going along with the two shady bad guys of the film who were wanting to try and "hurry up" on Victor's demise so they could cash in on a life insurance plan. Dick Powell and Joan Blondell were employees at the life insurance firm. Joan met Powell in another "meet cute" situation on a train when a bunch of "wolves", the slang term for overly eager male preditors in the 1930s, were chasing her (that being another minute I didn't like). Joan then accidentally walked in on Powell in his room while he was getting ready. Ring any bells? I remember a near duplicate scene in "42nd St" where Ruby Keeler accidentally walks in on Powell in his room while he was getting ready. I'm sure that was where the film makers of this film stole it from.

mark.waltz That beloved scene stealer Victor Moore steals the show here as a businessman who finds a second childhood as a hypochondriac businessman who gets an instance policy from Dick Powell, finds the fountain of youth and puts on a show. Powell finds love with chorus girl Joan Blondell while Moore doesn't find less with Blondell's pal, Glenda Farrell, who falls for him in spite of the age difference, just as Alone MacMahon did for Guy Kibbee in 1933's entry.Not as good as previous Busby Berkeley Warner Brothers musicals, it has a bit of a zing, but gives an indication to budget cuts that Warner Brothers was making in their musical department that would be obvious by the end of the decade. There's still plenty of good songs and a few great dance numbers, and the newly married couple of Powell and Blondell have more spark than Dick did with Ruby.While "With Plenty of Money and You" is the best known song, there's also the snappy "Speaking of the Weather" which has a great staging in a number that doesn't take place on stage. Then, there's the finale, "All's Fair on Love and War" which is no "Lullaby of Broadway" but thrilling none the less.

mrdonleone what a great musical this was! in fact, it contained of three individual parts.the first part was the introduction, where we got to know the story and the characters. this was quite boring, I tried to concentrate on the visuals rather than on the story.the second part, however, was intriguing. it showed us love can appear on every age and the intrigue was interesting too.the third part was beautiful and certainly one of the best endings from a Busby Berkeley musical. everything ended as it should be. I left the room with a good feeling. it's a shame pictures as these aren't made anymore today. long live Gold Diggers of 1937, without a doubt the best of the Gold Diggers series!

Ron Oliver Warner Bros. trots out its Gold Diggers concept again in this amusing little musical which serves largely as a wistful reminder of the fun & vivacity of the original pre-Code feature. Perhaps Dick Powell's smarmy little mustache, seen immediately after the opening credits, should have been enough to signal that things were different now.The plot of every Gold Digger film is centered around its music. The songs here are pleasant, but unmemorable and the Busby Berkeley spectacle--'All's Fair In Love And War'--reveals the Master at his repose, his choreographed rocking chairs and banners not quite registering the requisite pizzazz one remembers from his earlier classics.Powell tries his hardest to ingratiate, but his preppy days appear to be passing and casting him as an insurance salesman is a bit of a ho-hum. Lots of fun, however, can be found with Warner's two sensational brassy blondes, Joan Blondell & Glenda Farrell, in their final film together. Still wisecracking & sassy, they grab the movie's best dialogue and run off with it, giving some laughter to their comedy duo swan song. Comic Victor Moore shines as a cranky impresario with a bad case of hypochondria.Sharp-eyed movie mavens will spot Fred ‘Snowflake' Toones as a shoe shine attendant; Jane Wyman as an excited chorus girl at the station; and Frank Faylen as a man shaving on the train, all unbilled.
