- one heck of a box set !!!
The Busby Berkeley Collection, Volume 2 contains 4 solid films with the superlative choreography of Busby Berkeley. Busby was far and away the best choreographer then and he remains one of the very best even today. These films are in great shape; and here's is what you get:
Gold Diggers of 1937--Chorus girls out of work include Norma Perry (Joan Blondell) and Genevieve Larkin (Glenda Farrell). They "make friends" with the guys onboard a train; the men from a convention are happy to meet ... Read More
Rating: - Carmen Miranda for ever
Carmen Miranda, brasileña triunfante en los USA -y por tanto, en el mundo- es uncaso claro de amor entre mujer artista y la cámara de cine.
Hacía, interpretaba de Carmen Miranda (Se llamara en su papel como se llamara). Como Xavier Cugat o José Iturbi. Estuviera junto a Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Powell, Alice Faye o Grouxo Marx. Muchos de sus films, se salvan por su actuacion. De muchos, es lo que perdura; Sus minutos.
Este pack, a este precio, es un regalo. Sobrarán minutos, pero los ... Read More

- Filling a Gap
It's good to have commercial copies of these films, even though none of them are up to the films included in Volume I. Image quality is certainly better than DVD-Rs we have had to depend on. A definite must-have for Berkeley fans.
Rating: - Simply Busby
A GREAT demonstration of the genius of Busby Berkley. Although the story content in a couple is very repetative, basically this is a good collection of musical stories and songs. Many favorites including Dick Powell and Joan Blondell are in their groove. Hugh Herbert is wonderful as always and provides great comedic relief. If you are looking for a few hours of light hearted entertainment then this is for you as it is Simply Busby.
Rating: - Not disappointed, but...
If you're looking for the great Busby Berkeley musicals, these are not they -- that would be Volume One of this collection. The only film in this set that fits that description is "Gold Diggers of 1937". The other three are some of his later and more minor efforts -- perhaps one musical number, or the finale of the film features that Berkeley magic, but not really on the grand scale of the earlier films. And, save for the the aforementioned "GD '37", the writing is fairly pedestrian. There is some deliciously ... Read More
