Summary
According to Variety, in 1942, Babes on Broadway had it all--"youthful zest, heart-tug, infectious rhythm, constant amusement, stirring performances, substantial story interest, captivating music and lavish production." Babes on Broadway still has it all, with 16 song -and-dance numbers that run the gamut from "Yankee Doodle Dandy" to "Hoe Down" to the Oscar®-nominated "How About You." And Mickey's impression of Carmen Miranda is not to be missed! Then, of course, there's Busby Berkeley, master of the high-energy dance number (and inventive camera direction to match). Together with Garland and Rooney, he gives us a unique and exciting vision of old Broadway.
