divineandmajesticinone: 42nd STREET (1933) dir. Lloyd BaconGinger Rogers in her breakout role as Anytime Annie. “In contrast to the fantasy, escapist romantic dance musicals of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers that also began in the same year (Flying Down to Rio (1933)), this film was an unglamorized look at the tough realities of backstage life behind the footlights. The urban milieu of the film is filled with crisp, slangy, bitter dialogue and wisecracks, street-wise characters, topical references, desperately-striving chorines, dancers, and crew, and down-and-out references to the Depression.” (Tim Dirks, Filmsite Movie review, January 1 2000) -- source link
