Editorial Reviews

From Warner Brothers films of the 1930's comes 21 complete musical numbers that established forever the genius of Busby Berkeley. The segments are escapism, pure and simple, except they're never simple. Instead Berkeley shoots through floors, through roofs and through one kaleidoscopic array of leggy chorines after another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of dance numbers, September 9, 2007

This DVD only includes Berkeley's dance numbers, which, of course, are the best parts of his films. The DVD navigation is not the best, but the dance numbers are great. Well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the fun without any of those pesky plots...., February 15, 2007

This review is from: The Busby Berkley Disc (DVD)

Well...this collection was originally on two laser discs...and all they

did was delete "Goin' to Heaven on a Mule" (thank goodness!). What you

have left are thirteen lavish Busby Berkeley numbers..cutting edge stuff

for the 1930's. Every one of them is delicious and there to be enjoyed

without the need to deal with those pesky plots. "The Shadow Waltz" would have to by my all time favorite. All those neon violins and only one

extension cord have I spotted in nearly sixty years. However...this is a true treasure...and you can put it on and watch your own favorite when you need a 'pick me up". If you are really hooked...you can also get

"The Gang's All Here" and have two great Busby Berkeley numbers IN COLOR.

Yes, one of them is "The Lady in the Tutti Fruity Hat" with Carmen Miranda and a lot of ladies with BIG bananas. So, there you have it,

a way to satisfy your Busby Berkeley cravings quietly, at home, on the sly. You'll be glad you did.

Make no mistake about it, no one can ever replace the legendary Busby Berkley! For all my fellow Busby Berkley fans out there, this DVD will more than satisfy you. The choreograpy is divine and the Carmen Miranda number left me breathless, it was a pure delight to behold. I purchased this DVD on a whim and I'm so glad I did, it's worth every penny.
