.[Note: The film""s footage of the actual Macy""s parade hat was filmed in 1946, was part of an annual event that began in 1924.These three energetic, fast-paced song/dance films all featured performers Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Guy Kibbee, and hree chorus girls or ""golddiggers"" (Lorena Layson, Renee Whitney and Pat Wing).Shortly later that night, Sgt.Gordon found Falcone strapped to a searchlight, forming a bat-shaped signal in the sky from the beam of light.The voyeur is a balding, perpetually-sweating, middle-aged Archie Lee Meighan (Karl Malden), with his dog by his side (to make the point more obvious).Joe is confident: "Tomorrow, we""ll have wenty overcoats." After a dissolve, they appear on a Chicago street in the midst of a blizzardwithouttheir overcoats, and hey""re hauling their instruments:Look at the bow fiddle.
