A superb sequel to Babes in Arms, also directed by Berkeley, this musical sees Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney impersonate Carmen Miranda, George Cohan; the couple's appearance in black face was not controversial at the time.

Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland are talented sweethearts struggling to put on a show (what else) in this entertaining follow-up to BABES IN ARMS, the third of the "Mickey & Judy" vehicles that Busby Berkeley directed for MGM. Rooney is even more of whirlwind than usual as the boy who's got "greasepaint in his veins" and a nearly fatal ambition for the big time. The best number has Judy singing "How About You" while her and Mickey dance around her tenement apartment. Other songs include "Anything Can Happen in New York" and "Hoe Down." The film is a joyously bright and bouncy affair, with energetic Mickey and radiant Judy at the top of their precocious game. [More]
