In the dazzling Warner Bros. musical spectacular Dames, the legendary Busby Berkeley creates a series of staggeringly jaw-dropping, kaleidoscopic dance numbers thank rank among some of cinema’s absolute best. An eccentric millionaire pledges to give his fortune away to family under the condition they live moral lives. But this reformer’s relatives (ZaSu Pitts & Guy Kibbee) are in a bit of trouble when their daughter (Ruby Keeler) wins the lead in a scandalous new show and has eyes not just on singing and dancing, but also her black-sheep cousin (Dick Powell). Joan Blondell co-stars in this backstage Broadway comedy blast that features some of Berkeley’s most iconic sequences.
