Welcome to the episode where Dave says the fateful line, ‘I outright refuse to ever watch (this) again’.
Yep, it’s Robert Z. Leonard’s Best Picture winner, The Great Ziegfeld, where the charismatic William Powell misplaces his charm in a bloated epic as follies producer Florenz “Flo” Ziegfeld Jr., paired with the Best Actress winner Luise Rainer, and an extended cameo by Myrna Loy.
This is a rather swear-laden episode as co-hosts Dave and Andrew vent their frustrations about this long film.
