a delightful romp of great Busby Berkeley set pieces, 11 April 2003
9/10
Author: foolishhorst from Trinidad, California

If you like this stuff at all, these big dance scenes, this is a great 25 minute short with one number after another using literally hundreds of dancers in some of them.

You can't beat the waterfall scene with 100+ beautiful dancers/swimmers.

It's wonderfully dated.
