Earl Carroll Vanities

Broadway producer Earl Carroll was a Ziegfeld-like entrepreneur who staged lavish revues featuring attractive young ladies. Carroll's annual "Vanities" provided story material for three Hollywood films: Murder at the Vanities (34), A Night at Earl Carroll's (40) and Earl Carroll Vanities (45).

Earl Carroll Vanities is likewise rather threadbare, though some of the individual musical highlights aren't bad.
