42nd Street

Ailing Broadway director Julian Marsh (Warner Baxter) puts his all into his last show, but when the leading lady breaks her ankle, plucky chorine Peggy Sawyer (Ruby Keeler) must take her place. Busby Berkeley choreographed this sensational musical that launched a thousand cinema clichés; songs include "Shuffle Off to Buffalo," "It Must Be June," and the title tune. With Dick Powell, Bebe Daniels, Ginger Rogers. 89 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French; bonus shorts.
