This review is from: The Busby Berkeley Book (Hardcover)

The Busby Berkeley book was first published in the 1970's and besides for a single reprint has been out of print since. The book was written by English author Tony Thomas and Berkeley who was in retirement at the time had a limited role in its development. The book lists all of Berkley's films in chronological order with a couple of pages devoted to each film. Sadly many of these films which were made in the 1930's now appear to be all but lost. However as well as recently releasing the busby Berkeley collection on DVD Warner's has recently gone back into the archives and released several other Berkeley films over the last year including Wonder Bar, In Caliente, fashions of 1934 with Bette Davis and garden of the moon all of which are written about in the book. The most valuable thing about this publication is the fact that it contains about 300 stills and on set photos from Berkley's films which are not available anywhere else.
