the thing about Varsity Show is that it's good enough for not being bad, but bad enough for being good. yes, there are a lot of songs in it and the story is differently than the other Busby Berkeley films, but there isn't one song that really is performed well, the story is a bit stupid and it seems as if Busby Berkeley was out of inspiration. the dance performances are seen in other Berkeley films, but now they are shown to us in a worse version. still, I could quite enjoy the college humor, even more than in Buster Keaton's College and so many other movies about (art) schools (like Fame). it's not that I don't have taste for good movies, and that's exactly why I say Varsity Show is a nice relaxation but nothing more.
