    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Final film of Billie Dove. She retired after this film both to raise a family and in anger at the "behind-the-scenes" interference from William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies' lover and the producer of the film. Dove appeared in a small part 30 years later in Diamond Head (1962), but her scene was eventually cut from the film before its release.
    • Goofs
      The age of an actress or actor playing a screen age may be a matter of opinion to a viewer, but can NEVER be a 'goof' ... it all depends on how they carry it off, of course. Marion Davies did fine here (as did Billie Dove, who didn't get criticized for the same age gap?)

      Lottie: Oh and how do you know how a real gentleman acts?

      Blondie: In the movies! I go to them all the time.

    Delightful!

    What a treat to see! BlONDIE OF THE FOLLIES is a very entertaining film with terrific performances by Marion Davies and Bille Dove. A great script by Anita Loos and Frances Marion and beautiful Art Deco sets by Cedric Gibbons make this fine film a must see. It is in Turner Classic Movies library, though it hardly ever gets shown. Be on the look out for it though, because it is a real treat. Fast, snappy and skillfully directed by one of the most underrated directors of Hollywood's Golden Age, Edmund Goulding, responsible for such classics as GRAND HOTEL and DARK VICTORY. If you want to read more about BLONDIE OF THE FOLLIES pick up the new Edmund Goulding biography. It's really very good.
