The Singing Marine

The Singing Marine is a 1937 American musical film directed by Ray Enright and Busby Berkeley and starring Dick Powell. It was the last of Powell's trio of service-related Warners films: 1934's Flirtation Walk paid tribute, of sorts, to the Army, and 1935's  Shipmates Forever to the Navy. This one is distinguished by its two musical sequences directed by Busby Berkeley.
