Albert Johnson's 1965 San Francisco Film Festival tribute to Busby Berkeley reminded people that this legendary dance designer was still alive-and kicking. Berkeley turned people into visual elements and the camera into a kind of omniscient eye relishing in angles impossible for the mere mortal to obtain. His imagination was truly bizarre, even a tad sinister; in The Gold Diggers of 1933, Ginger Rogers, in giant close-up, sings "We're In the Money" in pig Latin, backed by chorines wearing coins over their private parts; in the "Pettin' in the Park" routine, Berkeley cuts to such strange details as a caged chimpanzee on a cookie box, a voyeuristic midget, and women's metallic bathing suits which men must pry open with can openers. Well, it's the Depression, dearie, and it's a jungle out there, as the working-girls plot of Gold Diggers of 1933 cynically demonstrates. The haunting "Forgotten Man" number is at once a non sequitur and perfectly apt. (JB)
