Synopsis: This quintessential and
archetypal "let's put on a show in a barn!" musical.
This Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland musical has all the kinetic energy
and beaming goofiness that made their films together (nine in
all) so popular. Rooney plays the son of a vaudeville performer
(Charles Winninger), Rooney decides to put on his own show (in
a barn!) to save his family's fortune, his town, his peers, and,
gosh darn it, even the American way of life with girl pal Garland
at his side.
*
Busby Berkeley's big production numbers are a sight to behold,
from a march through town for the title number to dated minstrel
show routine which has Garland and Rooney in Blackface. Swing
dancers Maxie Dorf and Larry Wise are said to be in this film
but not confirmed. |
