1933. The sweet spot, post-sound but pre-code. Busby Berkeley's golden moment. Of the three films he did that year, with racier scenes and dialogue than would be allowed a year later, "Spotlight Parade" is my favorite. The chemistry between James Cagney and Joan Blondell was obvious, and the combo of Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler was reliably good. In clasic BB style, the movie ends with three spectacular numbers. And, dig this poster!
