The kaleidoscopic overhead formation routine at 3:03 runs for a full minute- possibly the longest of its type by Buzz or anyone. No instant playbacks then, and no CGI: a nerve-wracking tour de force for everyone involved.
My Mother said she went to see this movie when she was 8 in a letter to her Sister that she kept all these years. I wish I could see the whole movie. Never heard of this one before. Impressive stuff.
That's Dolores Del Rio and Ricardo Cortez as the two performers who come out to take the bow at the end. Del Rio was a pretty big star at the time and Cortez was popular enough, but not a major star. He had a long career, too; well into the 60s as a character actor in film and television, I think.
Indeed. Dolores DEL Rio is one of the most incredible beauties of her diet. day. Unfortunately, she was a terrible actress, but just to look at her was enough

impressive...or not?
Love Busby Berkley, his vision was unique and helped rescue the Movie Musical of the 1930s.

There's no torrents of it anywhere. I had to buy an imported DVD copy released by Warners Archives.
@@berjaboy Thanks, but I already own it now.
This was the trigger for the Great Peroxide Shortage of 1934
LOL 🤣😆...
Ha!

Ricardo Cortez, bee Jacob Krantz made his last screen appearance in a 1960 episode of Bonanza.
Decades before the drone was invented, too. Terrifying to think how heavy that moving camera above their heads must have been.
Great dancing
I'm guessing this was pre-code.
Indeed it was - one of the last pre-code musicals to be released.
Beautiful Blonde Women make Life worth Living ❤😊.
No black performers - quite telling of the time❤
All blondes. No brunettes or redheads.
@@simon23those were wigs, part of the uniformity of the costume
No ugly people or old people either.
.. NO .. WOKE .. Stuff... LOL 🤣😆
@@harrietweber2520 Wigs or not, all blonde.
Weird fetishism
would we believe entertainment was this great had it not been on film for us to see and we only had modern garbage?
Yes, pretty much all modern film is garbage. I agree.
Two great inventions: audio and video. Without those two things, that talent would die when the show closed.
