Dames (1934) ***

The plot is weak (something about a screwy millionaire, played by Hugh Herbert, trying to close a show), but Busby Berkeley's numbers are incredibly innovative. Musical numbers:

"When You Were A Smile On Your Mother's Lips" *
"I Only Have Eyes For You" **
"Try To See It My Way" **
"The Girl At The Ironing Board" **
"I Only Have Eyes For You" (reprise) ***
"Dames" ***
"Try To See It My Way" (reprise) *
