Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dames is a 1934 musical comedy directed by Ray Enright, with musical numbers directed and choreographed by Busby Berkeley. It stars the usual Busby Berkeley stock players: Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Joan Blondell.Ezra Ounce (Hugh Herbert) is an eccentric millionaire with a strong puritanical streak. He is setting out to distribute his massive fortune, and is about to write a $10 million check to his cousin Matilda (ZaSu Pitts) and her husband Horace (Guy Kibbee). However, Ezra won't write the check if Horace and his family aren't up to his high moral standards. He has already cut off his distant cousin Jimmy (Powell) for working in the musical theater, which Ezra finds offensive more than all other sins. What neither Ezra nor Horace knows is that Horace and Matilda's daughter, Barbara (Keeler) is in love with her distant cousin Jimmy, and is going to be in his show.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Meanwhile, Horace has an awkward train encounter with a starlet named Mabel (Blondell). He doesn't sleep with her or anything, but it's sufficiently embarrassing for Mabel to blackmail Horace into backing Jimmy's show—which Ezra is plotting to disrupt with a horde of Mooks.All of this, of course, is only an excuse to have a lot of ornate Busby Berkeley numbers. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: During the "Dames" number, the camera swoops in on a woman in a bathtub, who turns and shoves a sponge into the camera lens. Later, the camera focuses on a woman doing her makeup, only for the woman to turn and spray her perfume bottle at the camera. | |
