forget the plotMay 09, 2010 Forget the cliched plot and the wooden acting (Ruby Keeler may dance up a storm, but she "reads" her lines), and wait for the dance numbers. 42nd Street is amazing. Busby Berkeley is incredible. One of the best.
Its Gold!Apr 03, 2010 The Quality of Sound and Picture= First Class!
The many "extra" Bonus= Wunderfull!
A very good Package of Diamonds Produktions!
I' R E C O M E N D E T to all Fans of American Musicals!
Have Fun!
42nd Street MovieMar 17, 2010 For old movie buffs this is a wonderful movie. Lot's of great memorable stars, and Busby Berkley production numbers. Love the charactor's interaction/sparring with each other. This was when Hollywood still had some class!
Shuffle off to Buffalo ...Mar 15, 2010 What a great collection! This is Busby Berkeley 101 for anyone just turning on to these classics. The plots, for myself, aren't as interesting as the dance numbers and songs. It's as if they are extremely extended music videos of their time, or the prototypes for today's music videos. I'm wondering which were created first, the music or the plots. In fact, I couldn't really describe what they are about as I found them hard to follow being distracted by the wonderful musical numbers. The extras for these DVDs are very interesting, and a must have for any classic film buff. This is a serious visual treat.
Road ShowMar 04, 2010 I viewed "42nd Street" for the first time the other night and I was favorably impressed. It is a typical "Hey guys, we're going to make a hit show!" movie but it's a cut or two above the standard. For one thing, there is a large cast with a lot of subplots. Secondly, it has a lot of good music. The title song is impressive as well as "You're Getting to be a Habit with Me" (I always liked Alan Sherman's spoof version "You may be a Playboy Bunny but You're Getting to be Rabbit with Me"). However, the song that captured my attention (and will be the main reason I will watch this film again and again) is "Shuffle Off to Buffalo". There are several Busby Berkeley numbers that are typically outstanding. I still ponder the supposed setting in a 1930's legitimate theater where the audience is presented with a horizontal view of a stage number that can only be appreciated from a vertical perspective. However, I suspect that I ponder too much.
"42nd Street" is a good film to watch if you want to see why Song and Dance was such a popular genre back then. The ocassional "All that Jazz" and "Saturday Night Fever" reminds us that they can still make 'em with style. A good song and dance film like "42nd Street" reminds us also that quality transcends generations.
