Review of 42nd Street (1933) by Ian D — 25 Oct 2008
Once again, the ultimate backstager. a near perfect film.
This is the eternal backstager musical. many films of its time tried to tell the same tale of ambition and heartache in the theater but few have succeeded or endured like 42 street. the screenplay is tight and filled with many a great wisecrack, the direction is fast paced and sharp, the cast top notch and the finale, with dances staged and filmed by busby berkeley are all classic.
