Review of 42nd Street (1933) by Crissy B — 18 Dec 2011
Surprisingly charming and likable musical with an ensemble cast about a group of performers putting on a show in New York City theatre, along the title street. It is mainly drama that surrounds the issues and inconveniences regarding the preparation for the show.
Storylines include a romance building between one of the managers and a stage performing along with the exhaustion of another performing; another one's ties with gang related activities; and ultimately, the one who can't perform in the show at the last minute to an injury.
I suppose these plots are bit cliché, but the songs, dancing, and script are what get the film rolling. It is also not too long and even though it is nearly 80 years old, it works as nice entertainment.
