Colleen (1936) ***

One of the silliest musicals of the 1930's. It stars Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Joan Blondell and Hugh Herbert. Dance numbers are second-rate Busby Berkeley imitations, the plot is ridiculous, dialogues are trite, but it's still great fun. Pure, undiluted camp. Songs:

"I Don't Have To Dream Again" *
"A Boulevardier From The Bronx" *
"An Evening With You" *
"You've Gotta Know How To Dance" **
