Footligth Parade is sheer cinematic joy. In this Depression-era romp, a timid stenographerr (Ruby Keeler) removes her glasses and - wow! - she's a star. A gee-whiz tenor (Dick Powell) asserts his independence. Plucky chorines tap, greedy hangers-on get their comeuppances and an indefatigable producer/dancer (James Cagney) and his Girl Friday (Joan Blondell) work show-biz miracles to stage live prologues for talkie houses to keep their company afloat during hard times. 'Honeymoon Hotel', 'By a Waterfall' and 'Shanghai Lil' are the shows, directed by Busby Berkeley and filled with imagination-bending sets, startling camera angles, kaleidoscopic pageantry and a 20,000-gallon-per-minute waterfall. Curtain up!
