...Berkeley's choreography, which showed the dancers' dancing in a kaleidoscope-like, splendid bird's-eye view, and Astaire's choreography and dancing, which showed the actual human figures dancing without any "tricks," symbolized the two basic styles of Hollywood musicals from the 1930s to the 1940s.
