1939
Directed by Busby Berkeley
Got to love that awkward moment in the 1001 journey when there is a blackface scene. Of course Mickey Rooney would be the actor that wore blackface. Seriously, what is with that guy?
This movie is just not good, period. The dance scenes are ridiculously unimpressive by Busby standards. I actually had to double check to see if he was really the choreographer. Judy Garland is slightly off putting at the best of times and I hate Mickey Rooney. The film follows these two nuts as they try to make their way in show business like their parents before them.
I could go on, but I think this picture really just says it all.
RATING: 2/5
