Gold Diggers 1933

I am an avid movie buff of Busby Berkeley films which I compare with todays movies. The story lines and dialogue were in their infancy, but in today's society I find them infantile.

How hard the actors and actresses worked doing all their own stunts - singing, dancing, swimming, whatever the part required they did it. I revere the early hollywood stars, they appear to have a healthy respect for themselves and others, which is not something many of the stars appear to have today. October 17, 2008

SPECTACULAR...

This is one of my very favorite DVD sets... it is spectacular. The films are wonderful and Busby Berkeley's genius is completely deserving of this collection. The films are remastered to a gorgeous and sharp newness, and the sound is crisp! The artwork on the cases and box are eye-catching, but I wish the box was of thicker material because the edges are worn with just light shelf wear. If you love classic movies and love depression-era entertainment with its glamour, humor and creativity, then this is for you. One of my favorite purchases, I can hardly wait for volume 2... TOTALLY RECOMMENDED! September 4, 2008

Busby Berkeley is great!

An excellent collection of the most well-known Berkeley inspired films. The bonus disk with all the great choreography scenes in one package was a thrill. Everyone should know at least two of these films. September 1, 2008

Mouth-watering musical menu

This collection of the stunning WB musicals of the thirties is in the great tradition of Warner collections - super transfers of the main features and a fascinating collection of cartoons and shorts. Look at the Leon Errol short with "Dames" - brilliant technicolor and made in 1934, yet. A snapshot of the work of a studio at the start of its golden age, when artists and technicians worked together to produce quality entertainment. August 18, 2008

WONDERFUL!

WONDERFUL! HOW NICE TO ENJOY THESE FILMS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE COMPANIES OUGHT TO RELEASE DVDs WITH EARLY AMERICAN MOVIE MUSICALS, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE THIRTIES: THERE ARE WONDERS THEY OUGHT TO RESURRECT. KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT THEY MAY READ MY PRAYER AND REALIZE IT. August 7, 2008
