Remake of The Gold Diggers (1923)*{nm}, Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929), and Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933), 8.
This version is really dull. LN/DM are a couple, but she hates his gambling. VG wants GN who wants LN. VM is the cynic who just wants a man with money. But when they find out GN has $$, she's happy to pair him with LN. TC is GN's uncle who doesn't want him to marry a showbiz girl, and VM targets him. And then WF claims half-ownership of SZS's casino due to his deceased brother being partner. Skip the story, and forward through to the dancing.
