Is there anyone in Hollywood today who is capable of such genius.....I think not. Busby Berkeley was truly a talent that seldom comes this way....so creative and such a visionary.
Jack Warner was a bit angry when the bills for those mirrors was shown to him, he nearly sacked Berkeley, but Al Jolson's company intervened, and bore the cost, the mirrors remained in use for years, ans some survive to this day, front silvered plate ground glass!! Berkeley often hid the cost of his numbers from Warners till they were in the can, he could be very expensive indeed.
It is quite beautiful, and the "top shot" is quite long. More amazing--in a negative way--is the other number in the movie, "Going to heaven on a mule". It has to be seen to be believed.
Thank you ...I am particularly fond of this Busby number. The trick with the mirrors is uncanny...absolute genius, I don't know how he it worked out but its beautiful.

This is my favourite Berkley number! Thanks for getting this on here!! I hope audiences loved it as much in 1934.
