Edgar Allan Pooh . . . of (The Then) Far Future about the Fraud of the Millennium. Though nearly everyone in Tinseltown subsequently plagiarized FASHIONS OF 1934, from Astaire & Rogers (ROBERTA) to Robert Altman (PRET A PORTER, aka READY TO WEAR), none of these Wannabes could see the Forest through Warner's Feathers. Though Warner provoked the Pope to impose a Century of American Film Censorship over these feathers (or lack thereof), Warner's Faithful Prognosticators of the USA's upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti thought that it was worth this risk to reveal that this Once Respectable Nation's Future Emperor Caligula was wearing no clothes at all. Our Endangered Homeland's Modern Day "Little Boots," aka that feather-brained Red Commie Tool Don Juan Rump, is perfectly predicted long in advance by FASHIION's "Sherwood Nash." Mr. Nash even has a Russian Connection through "Countess Mabel," a clear reference to Rump's KGB handler, Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin. (That is, "Countess Mabel" is the KGB's Code Name for Rump, as in "Countess Mabel is meeting with the Big Boss this week, so order more of the cheap baloney.") As this story ends, all the feathers turn out to be diseased, which serves as a final Warner warning of Putin's Plot to liquidate millions of U.S. Citizens by curtailing ObamaCare and transferring the billions "saved" by this Genocidal Mass Murder to the Russian Oligarch "investors" who have a stranglehold now on the American Economy, thanks to the Rump\Kushner Money-Laundering Crime Syndicate.

Michael_Elliott Fashions of 1934 (1934) ** 1/2 (out of 4)This Warner Musical has William Powell, Bette Davis and Busby Berkely teaming up this one time and the film's reputation has been pretty low ever since. The movie has Powell playing a con man who decides to rip off Paris fashions and sell them to New York big shots so that he can get some fast cash. With the help of Davis the two start ripping off fashions and selling them across the pond but soon a fashion show might really put them on the map. This isn't a bad film as some reviews would have you believe but at the same time it is rather uneven. There are many strange things in this film with Davis getting the top honor. Warner was trying to sell her as a sex symbol so they have a ton of make up on her face, a different hair style as well as an alternate hair color. While looking at her you'll forget she's Bette Davis so I guess you can applaud the studio for their make up work but thankfully the actress refused this type of "work" in future films. Powell is extremely good in the film as he manages to be quite funny and keeps the entertainment going. The opening joke involving a phone is perfectly played as are various other sequences where Powell has to use his charm. Davis doesn't come off as well because it appears she's trying to be someone other than herself. Frank McHugh, Hugh Herbert, Regionald Owen and Henry O'Neill round out the supporting players. The big musical number featuring tons and tons of feathers is pretty good but it really doesn't mix too well with the rest of the film. The pre-code bra and panties, as well as various other sexual innuendos, give the film an extra bump.

cfl-1 Bette Davis looks so beautiful in this confection of a film that celebrates the glorious fashions of the early 1930's. This film will start a love affair for life with the clothes here. If only we could look as lovely every day. William Powell and Bette Davis are mere side lines in this film that was made in the height of the Great Depression. The story of a conman in the fashion world of the 1930's is an usual storyline but it gives opportunity for an insiders look at this world that we really know and understand very little especially at this time. There are some unusual scenes that include a walking stick that is a camera. The main musical scene has girls as harps. It is absolutely enchanting.

nickandrew Suave con artist (Powell) and sultry designer (Davis) take over the Paris fashion world by copying designer gowns and passing them off as originals. Interesting comedy-musical is highlighted by the `Spin a Little Web' number choreographed by Busby Berkley, but in general the concept dates badly.
