Broadway director Julian Marsh needs just one more hit so he can retire and recover his health. It looks like he may just pull it off until his temperamental star Dorothy breaks her ankle on the eve of the show's premiere and has to be replaced by understudy Peggy. This 1933 musical starring Ruby Keeler boasts the still-impressive kitsch choreography of Busby Berkeley, who makes enormous moving sculptures out of grinning, leggy girls.
