	Movies - Goldwyn Follies

The Goldwyn Follies is a 1938 movie, written by Ben Hecht, Sam Perrin and Arthur Phillips, with music by George Gershwin, Ray Golden, Richard Rodgers, and Kurt Weill, and lyrics by Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin.

The movie, which features the Ritz Brothers, depicts a movie producer who chooses a simple girl to be "Miss Humanity" and to critically evalute his movies from the point of view of the ordinary person. The style of the film is very similar to other musicals of its era, including the "Gold Diggers" series and others. For the most part, the plot is there to hang songs on instead of for any purpose in and of itself.

Songs include:

"Love Is Here To Stay"
"I Was Doing Alright"
"Spring Again"
"Love Walked In"
"I Love to Rhyme"

This was the last score by George Gershwin before his death. The movie had Academy Award Nominations for Best Score and Best Interior Decoration
