3 things about Busby Berkeley’s THE GANG’S ALL HERE [1943]

1. “I know what I’d do if girl take my man away from me.”
“What do you mean?”
“I break her into little hunks. And then I break him into little hunks. And then I take all the little hunks and—Well, good-bye. I must do some rehearsalings.”
2. Banana wave.
3. She teaches him how to dunk a donut.
