This quintessential pre-Code musical combines backstage comedy and sly social commentary with Busby Berkeley’s legendary extravaganzas that turn chorus lines into surreal geometric spectacles. Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, the film follows a group of showgirls (Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon, and Ginger Rogers) as they scramble to mount a new production. Donations suggested.
