Bill’s Musical 52 Hypothesis
Cinemanaut Bill is watching 52 musicals, one every week, throughout 2015. This is his hypothesis on how it will affect him.

Musical 52: The Broadway Melody
Cinemanaut Bill begins his year of 52 musicals with 1929's The Broadway Melody, widely considered to be the first true Hollywood musical. Is it worth the watch?

Musical 52: Gold Diggers of 1933
Cinemanaut Bill watches his first Busby Berkeley film of the year, Gold Diggers of 1933, and is blown away by its beautifully cinematic choreography. Still, do the plot and pacing bog it down?

Musical 52: Top Hat
Cinemanaut Bill watches Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers tap dance their way through Top Hat, another tale of a Broadway performer overcoming complications to find true love. Again.

Musical 52: The Great Ziegfeld
Cinemanaut Bill checks out The Great Ziegfeld, a musical biopic about the man behind the famed Ziegfeld Follies. Is combining film genres a smart move, especially when it adds up to three hours?

Musical 52: Show Boat (1936)
Cinemanaut Bill checks out the 1936 film adaptation of Show Boat. One song blew him away, and the rest confused him. Was too much cut out of the stage version for time?
