Al Jolson heads a cast of '30s luminaries in this escapist Depression Era mix of music and melodrama. But the biggest star is behind the camera: musical-number creator and director Busby Berkeley, whose genius shines brightest in the spectacular razzle-dazzle of Don't Say Goodnight. Here, Berkeley orchestrates stunning top shots, eye-popping geometry, mirrors that multiply the dancers into infinity and 60 white pillars that move as effortlessly as the human talent. One night at the Wonder Bar - don't be late! (official distributor synopsis)
