| | Florenz Ziegfeld and The Ziegfeld Follies |
 | | From '07 until 1931 with breaks only in '26, '28 and '29, Ziegfeld produced his follies and set a standard for the revue that would not again be matched or exceeded. | | | In what would be a first that foreshadowed the "drum and dance" shows that are popular today, one scene had the chorus marching up and down the aisles while beating on drums. | | | In 1906, Ziegfeld staged a production, A Parisian Model, starring Held that was his last major production before introducing his famed follies revue. |

| | To be sure, the Follies production is a well-oiled machine that could serve as an instructional model in any university course on theater. | | | In addition to dollars, the Follies has brought attention to the desert. | | | She and Markowitz plan on producing the Follies "until we can't do it anymore." The philosophy that guides them, she says, is to create a great production and offer great customer service to back it up. |

| | Follies |
| | “Follies” stars Vikki Carr, Patty Duke, Harry Groener, and Hal Linden. | | | Follies will make it clear to you why such a strange kind of theatre was such an important part of the American consciousness for so long … there is no getting around the fact that a large part of the chilling fascination of Follies is that its creators are in essence presenting their own funeral.” | | | In the now-deserted theatre, the ghosts of the past co-exist on-stage with their older, middle-aged selves of the present, each living in their own stage space, as well as colliding in musical numbers and book scenes. |

| | This new production featured a completely new book and five new songs, replacing others which were cut. | | | Follies contains two scores -- the Follies pastiche numbers and the book numbers. | | | The entire show is interspersed with ex-showgirls reprising their old big numbers, and the atmosphere is heightened by the presence of the ghosts of everyone's former selves, who sometimes sing along, sometimes reenact important events, and sometimes even interact with the present. |

| | Ziegfeld Follies (1946) |
| | The biggest crack about "Tech," as cine buffs call it, is that it was not "realistic" color. | | | Bogus line of reasoning, as no cinematic color process can ever be realistic in the sense of replicating human sight. | | | Like Ziegfeld Follies, middling films such as Kid Millions (1934), Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1936), Jesse James (1939), Down Argentine Way (1940), The Gang's All Here (1943) and The Captain from Castile (1947) are worth seeing almost exclusively because of their amazing color schemes. |

| | But now, in 2002, Wiseman has made over 30 films and is generally regarded to be one of the most unique and stylistically uncompromising documentary filmmakers. | | | Discussions of Titicut Follies used to be more about the patients – should their rights of privacy be protected, did Wiseman violate those rights, how the issue of consent is complicated when competency can't be established, and so on. | | | Unaffiliated with any school of filming (or indeed with any film school), Wiseman has steadfastly pursued a completely individualized style of production, ranking him with the great auteurs and filmic innovators in cinema history. |
