Strange rating Busby Berkeley and not seeing the great musicals that made him famous 42nd St, Footlight Parade, Golddiggers of 1933 etc on the list, but while he directed the musical sequences, he didn't direct the films themselves, but still, people refer to them as Busby Berkeley musicals. Okay I admit I'm a bit of a fan of these creaky ancient musicals.:b
