Busby Berkeley brought his highly stylized, kaleidoscopic approach to musical production numbers, perfected on Broadway during the 1920s, to Hollywood during the industry's first musical craze of the early '30s and made his name and the legend of that style with his work on Forty-Second Street, Gold Diggers of 1933, and Fashions of 1934. Jennifer Russell surveys Berkeley's career and impact.
