The third in a series of four programmes.

Busby Berkeley and the years at Warner Brothers.

42nd Street introduced a whole new kind of Hollywood musical in the 30s. The plots were almost invisible, but it was the numbers that mattered: witty lyrics, memorable tunes, and the most extravagant staging ever seen with out-of-this-world sets and hundreds of scantily-clad 'chorines'.

Gold Diggers of 1933, Dames, Foot-light Parade, Fashions of 1934, Wonderbar and Gold Diggers of 1935 and 1937 have become classics. The man who dreamed up their fantastic numbers was Busby Berkeley, who died last month.

Come and Dance! looks at Buzz's finest work and talks to his stars, Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon, Virginia Grey, songwriters Johnny Mercer and Sammy Cahn and the man who was head of Special Effects at Warners throughout the 30s, director Byron Haskin.
