Great video clip, they certainly don't make films like that any more. I am not sure if it's seeing it out of context butI found parts of it quite disturbing, more Alfred Hitchcock than Busby Berkley.

I would suggest Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, but that would be tricky
without access to some kind of ouija board-cum-microphon e device I
think.

Something with a tonality akin to the Vitaphone female choir as heard
at 1.54 to 1.45 here:

..would be nice, I suppose. Lovely sound they got, however they
recorded it back then.
