The Show of Shows
''The Show of Shows'' is a 1929 American Pre-Code musical revue film directed by John G. Adolfi and distributed by Warner Bros. The all talking Vitaphone production cost $850,000 and was shot almost entirely in Technicolor. ''The Show of Shows'' was Warner Bros.' fifth color movie; the first four were ''The Desert Song'' (1929), ''On with the Show'' (1929), ''Gold Diggers of Broadway'' (1929) and ''Paris'' (1929). (''Song of the West'' was actually completed by June 1929 but had its release delayed until March 1930). ''The Show of Shows'' featured most of the contemporary Warner Bros. film stars.
==Overview==
The film was styled in the same format as the earlier Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film ''The Hollywood Revue of 1929''. The high budget of the film meant that although it performed well at the box office, it did not return as much profit as ''The Hollywood Revue of 1929''. ''The Show of Shows'' was originally meant to be and advertised as being an all-color talking movie; however, twenty-one minutes was in black and white—17 minutes of the first part and the first four minutes of part two.
The film features nearly all the stars then working under contract at Warner Bros. Virtually all the performers shown would vanish from the studio by 1931, after tastes had shifted owing to the effects of the Great Depression, which began to be felt late in 1930.
''The Show of Shows'' features many of the performers who were popular in silent movies mixed in with hand-picked stage stars and novelty acts. The emcee of the film was Frank Fay, who performed in the style of barbed sarcasm. In an era of almost naive optimism, he stands out as a witty devil's advocate.
