After watching 42nd Street so many times it relays to me just how much musical cinema has become so important to the cinema goer of today.Films such as these really show the true hard work and commitment played out by all the actors/actresses etc. involved.The films plot is easy to follow but the true genius of 42nd Street is Busby Berkley,his timeless dedication and devotion to produce unforgettable song and dance routines will rest in the heart of every musical fan forever. Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell were perfectly matched as the main characters,they have a charisma on screen that is hard to match these days.The song and dance routines they perform together is pure magic. The film follows the trials and tribulations of a stage director (Julian Marsh)to put on the best musical of his long career but has to keep facing problem after problem,which comes to a happy (as always) ending.The rest of the cast also give excellent serious and comedic performances to make this film unmissable if you like the musical/comedy genre.
