Busby Berkeley Collection Volume 2

Includes the following greats: GOLD DIGGERS OF 1937 Insurance peddler Dick Powell asks Joan Blondell to imagine how life would be With Plenty of Money and You. There’s razzle-dazzle aplenty too, with Berkeley’s precision-formation of All’s Fair in Love and War. GOLD DIGGERS IN PARIS Rudy Vallee’s tap-dancing cuties are mistakenly invited – expenses paid, natch – to Paris for a ballet tour. Watch the Diggers shine in numbers both magnifique and loaded with moxie! HOLLYWOOD HOTEL Hooray for Hollywood! And for this snappy all-star salute that stars Dick Powell as a filmland hopeful and includes Benny Goodman’s band as it swing, swing, swings into Sing, Sing, Sing. VARSITY SHOW Can Dick Powell rescue his alma mater’s floundering musical revue? He’ll have plenty of help – especially with Berkeley’s knockout of a football- themed finale. WONDER BAR Don’t miss the eye-popping geometry of Don’t Say Goodnight. Music, melodrama, Al Jolson’s moxie and Berkeley’s magic shape “the quintessential Warner Bros. ’30s musical.” (Clive Hirschhorn, The Warner Bros. Story).
