What critics compared Footlight Parade to
Just as Depression-era audiences thrilled to "Footlight Parade" and musicals that could turn ashen reality into pearly fantasy, and sometimes throw the two together, "La La Land" comes along at a time in our nation's existence when we appreciate the distraction.
Sure, Fred and Ginger did more technically proficient dancing in Top Hat and Swing Time; and the Busby Berkeley extravaganzas, like Footlight Parade, had more spectacular set pieces.
