In this number from the film "Gold Diggers of 1933," Brad Roberts (Dick Powell) and Polly Parker (Ruby Keeler) sing a duet of the song "Shadow Waltz," by Al Dubin and Harry Warren, on stage. The music escalates as a mass of chorus girls join the stage. Choreographed by Busby Berkeley, the sequence uses complicated bridges, intricate patterns of coordinated movement among the chorus girls, and prop violins that show off attached neon lights at different points.
