 Rating:  - This is amazing!I thought I was a fan of Judy Garland. I thought Mickey Rooney was "just okay." Then I saw this. What fun!!! These poor kids never made the money they were worth - and they were worked hard! You don't see talent like this today! So many scenes! So many costume changes! So many vignettes! But I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I actually saw Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney in BLACKFACE! I'm surprised this video hasn't been banned! (And I'm glad it hasn't - even though I was conflicted ... Read More Rating:  - Singing For the KidsBabes on Broadway is another one of the Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland teamings, and because of their chemistry, the film is pretty good. Rooney plays a guy who feels it is his destiny to make it big on Broadway. Although Garland has similar ambitions, she is not willing to step on other people to get what she wants.

This was one of the few movies starring Richard Quine (in a supporting role) before he reached his acting zenith (Brad Craig in 1943's "We've Never Been Licked"), and in was good to see this outstanding future director in FRONT of the camera. Rating: - Judy and Mickey Directed by Busby BerkeleyBABES ON BROADWAY is a lively musical featuring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland singing and dancing up a storm. Busby Berkeley directing these two in their prime is bound to produce an entertaining movie even if the plot is just a trite story about two young people trying to make it big in New York. The supporting cast includes Richard Quine, Fay Bainter, Virginia Weidler, Ray McDonald, Donald Meek and Alexander Woollcott. Mickey does several impersonations such as one of the equally energetic Carmen ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
