"42nd Street" is clearly one of those very typical Broadway plots: a good Broadway director wants to make a final production, but his heroine gets injured on the eve of its premiere and is replaced by a new candidate , so the newcomer was a great success. This kind of plot seems to fall into the cliché, but this film makes this kind of old-fashioned plot gain by adding the love story of an old rich man, and the heroine did not cut off her love for her lover because of the temptation of money. many new ideas. The actor who plays the leading role in this film is indeed a well-known actor from Broadway, which adds a rare color to the visibility of this film in performance. The wonderful theatrical performance in the last twenty minutes of this film is so wonderful that the audience can hold their breath and bring an intoxicated smile on their faces, because the music and singing of this film have a power that penetrates the heart.

One of the most profitable musicals of the 1930s brought Warner Bros. back from the brink of bankruptcy. Tap diva Ruby Keeler's debut, starring Werner Baxter, Ginger Rogers and Dick Powell, choreographed by Busby Berkeley. Among them, Ruby and Dick later cooperated in [Beauty] [1933 Gold Rush Girl] and other films, which became one of the most paired screen couples at that time. The excerpts are taken from the theme song of the same name of the movie, and the two perform together.

Busby Berkeley's kaleidoscope of legs is blinding. But the real staggering thing about this movie is: this is where it all started! It was 4 years before a star was born in the first episode. After more than 80 years, Hollywood is still conjuring the story of 42nd Street, I mean la la land. Of course, that's the mentally handicapped version left over after so many generations of degradation. However, there are still people who will admire it, and I don't know that it's just for the afterglow of 42nd Street!

Julian Marsh: Sawyer, you listen to me, and you listen hard. Two hundred people, two hundred jobs, two hundred thousand dollars, five weeks of grind and blood and sweat depend upon you. It's the lives of all these people who've worked with you. You've got to go on, and you've got to give and give and give. They've got to like you. Got to. Do you understand? You can't fall down. You can't because your future's in it, my future and everything all of us have is staked on you. All right, now I'm through, but you keep your feet on the ground and your head on those shoulders of yours and go out, and Sawyer, you're going out a youngster but you've got to come back a star!
