"42nd Street" is clearly one of those very typical Broadway plots: a good Broadway director wants to make a final production, but his heroine gets injured on the eve of its premiere and is replaced by a new candidate , so the newcomer was a great success. This kind of plot seems to fall into the cliché, but this film makes this kind of old-fashioned plot gain by adding the love story of an old rich man, and the heroine did not cut off her love for her lover because of the temptation of money. many new ideas. The actor who plays the leading role in this film is indeed a well-known actor from Broadway, which adds a rare color to the visibility of this film in performance. The wonderful theatrical performance in the last twenty minutes of this film is so wonderful that the audience can hold their breath and bring an intoxicated smile on their faces, because the music and singing of this film have a power that penetrates the heart.

This is the third opera-in-play musical I've seen with rehearsal performance as the main line.... a bit boring.... Like "Huaqing Chun Nuan" and "35 Years of Gold Rush Girl", this kind of play-in-play Essence only needs to watch the song and dance in the last 20 minutes. The previous plot is really boring, and the song and dance of this film is not as creative and impactful as those two, plus there are many unintentional but intentional lust hints. , the style of this film is not to mention elegant.

Four and a half stars. "42nd Street" may be the one with the most far-reaching influence on the creation of later generations among the old musicals in the pre-code period, and it may be the best one among them. In terms of style and taste, "42nd Street" can be said to be quite different from many thigh music and dance films of the same period (of course, there are also thigh dances and kaleidoscope dances in the film), and it strives to give a very realistic and serious attitude. A portrait of all living beings showing business, the ups and downs of survival, the bitterness of actresses, the anxiety of creation, and the ups and downs of stardom. . . It's almost all the love. It can even be said that it has drawn its own boundaries for the subject of backstage musicals. From "The Comet Beauty" to "Jazz Spring and Autumn", it can be regarded as "42nd Street". Variations in different directions. PS: Bob Fosse was definitely influenced by this batch of backstage musicals from the pre-Codex period. PSS: Ruby Keeler got married early and left the circle. Who would have thought that among the girls at that time, Ginger Rogers had the most lasting star luck.
