Many times while watching BB presentations I've been left utterly amazed at the sheer innovative and precise showmanship of some BB routines, considering the era in which they were done. They're just so amazing they need to be seen to believed, and viewed more than once to even further appreciate.
" In an era of breadlines, depression and wars, I tried to help people get away from all the misery...to turn their minds to something else. I wanted to make people happy, if only for an hour."
Wonder Bar
(1934)
Gold Diggers In Paris
(1938)
Basically, when you're watching a musical,"Busby Berkeley" are the two best words you can ever read as the opening credits roll, reassuring you that this flick is well worthwhile!
