A Naughty, Gaudy, Bawdy Movie Musical Landmark.
Meet a dewy-eyed ingenue, a gee-whiz tenor, stuck-up stars, hard-up producers, brassy blondes and "shady ladies from the 80s." They're all denizens of 42nd Street, belting out ageless Harry Warren/AI Dubin songs and tapping out Busby Berkeley's sensational Depression-Iifting production numbers.
The put-on-a-show pIot spins merrily, fuII of snappy banter and new faces Ruby Keeler , Dick PoweIl and Ginger Rogers. The show-stopping numbers stiII dazzle. Looking and sounding its best in years via this new digital transfer from the restored original camera negative and optical audio tracks, 42nd Street shows that good times never go out of styIe. |
