From the Front Row

Mattie Lucas

A wild burst of colorful energy that is pure Berkeley, and one of his most wildly surreal set pieces.

...we're all part of the show when it comes to this 1943 musical comedy, accepting and delighting in its escapist frivolity.

Whether one views this as a kitschy, campy spectacle or merely another splashy musical from the Dream Factory largely depends on one's tolerance for garish colors, kaleidoscopic set-pieces and the sight of Carmen Miranda and her juicy fruits.

The gaudy palette of Busby Berkeley's vertiginous Technicolor musical, from 1943, inspired the director's most extravagant visual inventions ...

Busby Berkeley's most audacious film.
