Il paradiso delle fanciulle (1936)
Florenz Ziegfeld, l'impresario passato alla storia come il padre del musical, ovvero del teatro leggero in musica, all'inizio lavora avventurosamente in piccoli locali di provincia. La sua ascesa è scandita da due matrimoni e il secondo sarà per sempre. Impegnato in allestimenti sempre più spettacolari, sontuosi e sorprendenti, al culmine del successo subisce un crac finanziario; muore in miseria nel 1932.
