Rating:  - Not disappointed, but...
If you're looking for the great Busby Berkeley musicals, these are not they -- that would be Volume One of this collection. The only film in this set that fits that description is "Gold Diggers of 1937". The other three are some of his later and more minor efforts -- perhaps one musical number, or the finale of the film features that Berkeley magic, but not really on the grand scale of the earlier films. And, save for the the aforementioned "GD '37", the writing is fairly pedestrian. There is some ... Read More
Rating:  - Mediocre films in neat package
This collection, marketed under the name of Busby Berkeley, is not one of Warner Brother's better releases. The Berkeley name may draw the unfamiliar but it is misleading since in at least one of the films, hewas brought in merely to stage the finale and as a director, except for a certain visual flair with the camera boom, there was nothing really to distinguish him from any other contract director of the time.

Rating: - busby berkeley collection 2
nice set especially since this set, i believe. has never been on vhs. so if you are a musical fan and like films of the 30's i am sure you will like this volume 2, tho not up to volume 1 in great scenes still good.

Rating: - Great collection!
Love the Busby Berkeley style. If you were a fan of the first collection, this will be an additional treat. As always, the plot is a segue to the BIG dance number - but who cares about the plot? It's a fun way to spend an evening. Pour a glass of wine and sit down to relax. Berkeley is a sure ticket to stress relief.
