S6E12: 42nd Street, 1933

(Episode recorded May 7, 2025)Review #11 of the season, and our 7th nominee for Outstanding Production at the Sixth Academy Awards. 42nd Steet is a full-blown musical, and we have a full-blown stupendous guest in Klarissa Beckstead from I've Seen That One!  The film's musical numbers are staged and choreographed by Busby Berkeley. It stars an ensemble cast of Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers. It was one of the most successful motion pictures of the year, and is often regarded as one of the greatest musicals ever made. And while we don't talk about this on air, in 2013 42nd Street was included on the list of films that pass the Bechdel test.Please leave us a review wherever you are listening!Email us rants as well as raves: [email protected] can also find us on Instagram (and now Twitter/X): @sheacinema
