Meet a dewy-eyed ingnue, a gee-whiz tenor, stuck-up stars, hard-up producers, brassy blondes and shady ladies from the 80s. Theyre all denizens of 42nd Street, belting out ageless Harry Warren, Al Dubin songs and tapping out Busby Berkeleys sensational Depression-lifting production numbers. The put-on-a-show plot spins merrily, full of snappy banter and new faces Ruby Keeler (her movie debut), Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers.

The show-stopping numbers (Shuffle off to Buffalo, Youre Getting to Be a Habit with Me and the title tune) still dazzle.

Looking and sounding its best in years via this new digital transfer from the restored original camera negative and optical audio tracks, 42nd Street shows good times never go out of style.
