A wonderful clip,with the raunchy Ethel Shutta and a gorgeous bevy of attractive young ladies, doing a complex routine choreographed by Busby Berkeley. A joy to behold!
From what i understand, with two strip technicolor, set and costume designers had to use certain tricks to get stuff to appear blue onscreen.........thanks for the upload.
The process used was sensitive to two colours, but Technicolor found that they got a response from blue even with red green filters, so enhanced it at the printing stage with an extra matrix which had a strong blue dye. The matrix was exposed to the combined red green image, and used just to print blue. It was expensive to do, and the experiments lead to the 3 strip process, full Technicolor. The process was flexible, blue filters were also used, same as multicolor used for 2 colour films.

Ethel Shutta, the lead in this number, was in the original "Follies" and sang "Broadway Baby"- and she should know!
I do wish she had solid movie career so I could have more examples of her puttin' a song over those (imaginary) footlights!
FYI, this was filmed in Two Color Technicolor in 1930. It has not been re colored.
Wonderful number,it's ashame Ethel never recorded this number on commerical records.
I think my grandma's in the back row, she wore a big hat!
Wow !
Betty Grable at about 4:22.
Always loved this number. Girls were so much prettier then!

Some mighty fine high-steppin' heifers!
Busby's prime.
Thanks
one of the dancers is Betty Grable.. or so i have read somewhere..
In the sequence where the girls are in a line and putting on their hats before dropping out of the scene, Betty's the last girl in that line. 4:22
Busby Berkeley at his best...with Betty Grable
What movie is this clip from and who is the dancing star?
Who's in blackface at the end? Eddie Cantor?
Yes.

Inte illa!
She's no Ruby Keeler (THANK GOD!) LOL!
This is the only thing in the movie that I thought was any good.
Granny?
I wish the men had bigger parts in these dance sequences instead of being pretty much props for the women.
