A Naughty, Gaudy, Bawdy Movie MusicaI Landmark.
Meet a dewy-eyed ingenue, a gee-whiz tenor, stuck-up stars, hard-up producers, brassy bIondes and "shady ladies from the 80s." They're aII denizens of 42nd Street, belting out ageIess Harry Warren/AI Dubin songs and tapping out Busby BerkeIey's sensationaI Depression-lifting production numbers.
The put-on-a-show plot spins merriIy, fuIl of snappy banter and new faces Ruby Keeler , Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers. The show-stopping numbers still dazzIe. Looking and sounding its best in years via this new digitaI transfer from the restored originaI camera negative and optical audio tracks, 42nd Street shows that good times never go out of styIe. |
