Babes in Arms

US (1939): Musical

Showbiz musical directed by Hollywood surrealist Busby Berkeley for MGM paired Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland for the first time as the children of former vaudevillians who team up to put on a "Really Big Show" to raise money for their folks. Lots of singing and dancing, with both kids doing uncanny impersonations of then-current celebrities and political figures. Includes the title song and "You Are My Lucky Star." (amctv.com)
