By A Waterfall (1933) - Choreography by Busby Berkeley
Loading...
Uploaded by shivabel on Jun 21, 2011
Busby Berkeley (November 29, 1895 -- March 14, 1976) was a highly influential Hollywood movie director and musical choreographer. Berkeley was famous for his elaborate musical production numbers that often involved complex geometric patterns. Berkeley's works used large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances.
The "By A Waterfall" production number from 'Footlight Parade' (1933) made use of one of the largest soundstages ever built, constructed especially by Warner Bros. to film Berkeley's creations.
Music by Maurice Ravel, 'Ondine'. (Piano: Sara Vujadinovic)

Superbe chorégraphie pour illustrer "Ondine" de Maurice Ravel ! Il me semble que le noir et blanc ajoute encore un supplément de grâce et de poésie. Merci pour cette belle vidéo.

I was expecting the original music - I don't understand why people add other music to Busby clips. Waste of time here...
