| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
The definitive backstage musical still has plenty of sass--along with its clichés. Ailing director Baxter puts everything into what may be his final show, then leading lady Daniels twists her ankle! Good thing Ruby Keeler's on hand. Harry Warren-Al Dubin songs include title tune, "Young and Healthy," "You're Getting to Be a Habit With Me," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo." Busby Berkeley's ground-breaking production numbers are still sensational. Scripted by Rian James and James Seymour, from Bradford Ropes' story. Adapted for the Broadway stage fifty years later. Also shown in computer-colored version.
