Quick Summary

Babes on Broadway is a 1941 film directed by Busby Berkeley, known for his elaborate and innovative choreography in musical films. The movie stars Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, continuing their popular on-screen partnership. In Babes on Broadway, Garland performs the song "How About You?", which was nominated for an Academy Award. The film also features Rooney imitating the iconic performer Carmen Miranda.
