Summary:The musical-production numbers created by Busby Berkeley in the 1930s are works of gaga movie surrealism that still astound. This extraordinary DVD release compiles 22 of his best, including several numbers - notable for near-nudity and risqué material - that were filmed before the Production Code censors clamped down in 1934. Technical innovations abound, from violins outlined by then-new neon tubes (''Shadow Waltz'') to strategically placed mirrors that create the impression of thousands of dancers performing (''Don't Say Goodnight''). The disc includes Berkeley's own favorite, ''Lullaby of Broadway,'' which features the most massive tap dance ever filmed. [www.ew.com]
