description: "Berkeley William Enos, known professionally as Busby Berkeley, was an American film director and musical choreographer, best known for his collaboration with Warner Brothers in the early to mid-1930s. Berkeley devised elaborate musical production numbers that often involved complex geometric patterns. His work used large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances."
