1.During a time where the society was facing financial turmoil and the future seemed uncertain, I think that it did well to have a sunny mentality cast on upon the view of everyday life. Ziegfeld exuded wealth and elegance, which was something that was hard to come by during a time of financial distress.
2.I expect to see the idealism of lavish and care-free easy living. It was this that had been craved by society at the time, so why not put it as the forefront of all musicals to up appeal?
3. To avoid being too brash I'll leave it as this- more nudity and more sex appeal. Anna probably would have been dressed in a more risque manner- far more seductive that her "Mary had a Little Lamb" garb she is donning in this clip.
