Busby Berkeley Dreams

Specs on the forthcoming Busby Berkeley DVD box, due in March from Warner Home Video. In addition to the films 42nd Street, Gold Diggers of 1933 and 1935, Footlight Parade, and Dames, each disc will have new featurettes and vintage shorts. What delights me the most about this set is that they’re including those insufferably cute Merrie Melodies cartoons that Warner Bros. produced to capitalize on the cheery Harry Warren/Al Dubin songs from those films — “Pettin’ In The Park”, “Honeymoon Hotel”, “Shuffle Off To Buffalo” and the like. I haven’t seen those in years. Plus: a bonus disc of 20 Berkeley numbers from various musicals. Joy!!
