In the best films of Busby Berkeley, he's the director only of the musical numbers. The romantic comedies that "fill out" the films are under other direction. This worked swell for films like 42nd Street (1933) & Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933) because the romantic comedies, even if predictable as to plot, were legitimately funny, legitimately romantic, well written & wonderfully cast.
There was, however, an expected dissonance between the two elements of the film, which never injured them because no one really expects actions on the musical stage to be fueled by the same tone & attitude as the backstage & offstage lives of the characters. Still, if Busby could get an assignment to do both aspects of a rulle, mightn't there be a greater similarity from start to finish?
That, at least, seems to be what Busby thought when he got the entire directing job for Gold Diggers of 1935 (1935). Before ever there's a line of dialogue, we get a series of dances by workers in•
