This example of a genius and the musical greats are kept alive by People that appreciate the golden era of the American songbook. This is why it will never die.
Great video! Ever since I saw my first B.B. movie when I was a kid my one wish was to be a dancer in a B.B. musical. Particularly in the Lullaby of Broadway routine. All those people could tap dance. I doubt very much if you could find that many people in Hollywood that could tap dance now. By the way, about four years ago I read they were going to make a movie of BB's life. I guess it never came to anything too bad.
10:11 I’ve performed in dance numbers such as this, worn similar outfits. It’s an unbelievable strain and very demanding, but it’s satisfying when executed successfully.
Man With A Movie Camera - 1929 and King Of Jazz - 1930 both preceded and influenced this cinematically surreal hypnotically geometric bedazzlement. Her > 7:42 His style of films didnt fall out of favor during the 1940s because he made his best one in 1943 The Gangs All Here and its in color.
Anyone looking at this video should look at a video called let's misbehave directed by Matt Gaitlin. Set to the music of Cole Porter's let's misbehave performed by Irving Aaronson in 1928, this video is a direct direct steal of the Busby Berkeley techniques and it is brilliantly brilliantly done
Too bad his private life was a complete mess. He did, however, live to see his accomplishments newly appreciated and revived in the early 1970s. Seeing the overhead shots of the June Taylor Dancers in the early '60s on "The Jackie Gleason Show" as a little kid, before I'd seen any of the Busby Berkeley original dance numbers, was incredibly intriguing. I wondered how anyone had ever thought up such an idea, to create such abstract geometric patterns which were actually people.
it was just by chance the other day I seen the audio but thought I'd add the film to it & it matched 100%! who knew BING could have sung it with BUSBY dancers 32movie take2 th-cam.com/video/PAWPcZh1QEI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zMpsIVOB1dH0Cz0o

HE WAS A HUGE CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS DISTANT, UNFORGETTABLE ERA OF HUGE MUSICALS. SUCH PRODUCTIONS TODAY WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY PROHIBITIVE !!!

Love his majestic dance choreography...his artistic talent would only be appreciated by a few in today's computer generated world.

This was so wonderful! The dance scene that I love is Anything Goes, at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
And remember ... all of the 1930s films were done without the use of a zoom lens, which (at that time) was still being developed.
