Lavish sets and extraordinary talent make The Gang’s All Here an especially lush film, particularly for wartime, as one bevy of “Berkeley Beauties” pours onto the stage after another.
The galaxy of stars that bring this Busby Berkeley musical to life include blonde beauty Alice Faye and the inimitable Carmen Miranda, as well as the legendary Benny Goodman and his Orchestra, high-kicking comedienne Charlotte Greenwood and comic Phil Baker. With five breathtaking production numbers, Carmen Miranda’s famous “The Lady With The Tutti Frutti Hat” number and the awe-inspiring “kaleidoscope” of dancers routines, The Gang’s All Here is Busby Berkely at his most wonderfully extravagant.
