Busby Berkeley

Welcome to the ‘Busby Berkeley’ page on ‘Bradley’s Basement’.

This is where I will be posting my DVD reviews on the musical films choreographed and directed by Busby Berkeley mostly from the 1930s and 1940s. These include movies starring Dick Powell; Ruby Keeler; Joan Blondell; Guy Kibbee; Hugh Hubert; etc. These movies can be found in ‘The Busby Berkeley Collection’ or in ‘The Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney Collection’ on DVD.
