Review

pretty sure this is the first busby berkeley film i’ve seen. i’m not much of a musical fan, but this one is real solid. i guess it works for me as a musical in part because it makes sense within the film – the three protagonists are all showgirls. it’s also good because outside of the musical aspects the story is fun. it’s a prototypical 30s comedy in a lot of ways. the girls are real sassy and a good time is had by all. the musical sequences are actually more fun for their visual flair than anything else, though the music is also good. berkeley clearly had a good eye for arrangements and how things would play on film. chicago tried to be a throwback to some of this kind of stuff, but to far less success to my recollection.
