Berkeley's famous pattern-dancers become more than an example of self-focusing art. Unlike several other of Berkeley related films, 42nd Street has more heart than "eye candy." Ruby Keeler returns to the musical genre as another small town girl wanting to become a Broadway dancer. There's less comic relief in this one. Unlike all the Gold Digger films of the 1930's, 42nd Street stands out as a movie about hopes and dreams. One of the all time classics for musical lovers, its a must see if you're a Ruby fan!
