I, like everyone, love the 50's and 60's musicals, but even more do I like the older ones.
I adore 42nd street. It was one of Busby Berkley's earlier films and I personally think .one of his finest.
Also,
Babes in Arms. Yes, it is campy, but personally it holds a special place in my heart. And I love to show people that Love "Singin' in the Rain" that the songs "Good Mornin' " and "Singin' in the Rain" were written long before the movie of the same title.
