Gold Diggers of Broadway Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Irene Thirer
All in all, this makes merry talkie-singie-dancie fare and the beauty of its color again reaches pictorial splendor.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
If you really want to pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile, The Gold Diggers of Broadway stands ready to help you do it.
Detroit Free Press
Ella H. McCormick
It is a production which everyone should see, for it represents the latest word in the fast-moving progress of the new show world of the screen and provides the most lavish, beautiful and satisfying entertainment the screen has yet offered.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
Ann Pennington's dancing. Lilyan Tashman's "English" drawl. Miss Foster's rather winning, sweetness, and Gertrude Short's occasionally amusing comments are other facets of interest in a picture that Is light and diverting.
Boston Globe
Globe Staff
It is filmed entirely In technicolor, and the picture has a vivid reality and charm which a plain black and white photoplay does not possess.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Inquirer Staff
Winnie Lightner as Mable is the hit of the show with her excellent voice, her gags and her forgotten monologue that is a comedy classic.
Miami Herald
Ben Robinson
Easily the best of the musical revue pictures to date.
Variety
Sime Silverman
Very good entertainment.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
The fun, coupled with the lovely pastel shades, the tuneful melodies, a sensible narrative, competent acting and elaborate stage settings, resulted in an extraordinarily pleasing entertainment.
San Francisco Examiner
Edgar Waite
Gold Diggers of Broadway lacks the human quality that On With the Show had, and the acting is stilted, except for that of Albert Gran, Lilyan Tashman and Conway Tearle.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Martin Dickstein
Gold Diggers of Broadway is set off by some of the most gorgeous stage trappings that have been seen in these parts for a long time, and it is these settings which give the picture a certain visual beauty.
Hartford Courant
Albert J. Duffy
The musical score is well above the average of other revusical talkies to date and we have no hesitancy in predicting that "Painting the Clouds with Sunshine," and "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" will soon be among the country's major radio evils.
Baltimore Sun
Donald Kirkley
Ann Pennington, the same as ever, dances a bit, and talks a bit, and lends the prestige of her presence
Kansas City Star
Jack Moffitt
Gold Diggers of Broadway has enough plot to keep it interesting. It has good, fast action, excellent comedy and musical numbers that are tuneful enough to justify all the technicolored spectacle used in presenting them.
Tampa Bay Times
Irvin J. McDonald
Carrying a clever cast of stage entertainers who handle the roles of the interesting plot effectively, Gold Diggers of Broadway, an all-talking, all-color film, should please all theatergoers who like photoplays of the stage and stageplayers.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Harvey Gaul
It's a riot! It's an explosion!
Austin American-Statesman
Statesman Staff
The costumes and stage settings are gorgeous. The music, voices and acting all are good. There is some of the best tap dancing ever displayed anywhere.
Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald)
Douglas Fox
Gold Diggers of Broadway has a pretty high average of entertainment.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
The story, slight enough in itself, is generally amusing even if not particularly substantial.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
This plot is inconsequential; it is the beautiful colors, which are enhanced by brilliant camera work, the melodious music, the dancing and the singing and the occasional joke "cracking," that counts in this picture.
