If it's #nationalpolkadotday, it should not be possible to avoid Alice Faye singing "The #PolkaDot Polka" in The Gang's All Here, with the usual hallucinogenic choreography from #BusbyBerkeley.

“All’s Fair in Love and War” #BusbyBerkeley musical number from “Gold Diggers of 1937.”
An army of white satined women with white rifles and flags faces off a chorus of men in a mock battle marked “No Woman’s Land.”

I think the reason I call GOLD DIGGERS of 1933 my favorite of the #BusbyBerkeley musicals is because it addresses the Great Depression more so, and more frankly, than the others.

#BusbyBerkeley Art Deco night on @tcmtv.bsky.social #Golddiggersof1933 is my favorite of his "big three" (42nd Street and Footlight Parade being the other two). Flashback to 2023 when my husband and I saw the surviving neon violins from this film. #TCMParty #classicfilm

We’re missing DAMES (1934) in tonight’s #BusbyBerkeley lineup. But that’s okay because I hear it’s on HBO.

Kaleidoscopic movie director William Berkeley Enos was nicknamed after the Broadway star, Amy Busby. Samuel Goldwyn brought him to Hollywood to direct Eddie Cantor musicals, but it was at Warner Bros where he found his footing. Had a cameo in 1970s The Phynx.

The image shows a row of performers dressed in vibrant costumes, each holding large, curved banana props. The performers are in a synchronized line formation that extends into the background. Each outfit consists of layered yellow skirts and matching headpieces, contrasting with dark, puffed sleeves. The massive bananas, held aloft in graceful arcs, create a striking visual rhythm. The background is an expansive, smooth surface under a clear blue sky.
3 things about Busby Berkeley’s THE GANG’S ALL HERE [1943]
1. “Well, good-bye. I must do some rehearsalings.”
2. Banana wave.
3. She teaches him how to dunk a donut.

A sample of a bunch of classical LPs I got from JW McGrath Auctions in Sebastopol yesterday. Also scored a decent Sony compact disc deck from 1988. #verdi #bizrt #bach #brahms #tchaikovsky #busbyberkeley #haydn #puccini
