Title Information

42nd Street
Featuring Warner Baxter, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers; This is the film that launched the Golden Age of Hollywood musicals.

42nd STREET traces the creation of a Broadway show from its first casting call through its blockbuster opening night--when the leading lady twists her ankle and a young chorus girl (Ruby Keller) takes her place and becomes a star. Starring Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell, featuring Ginger Rogers and choreography by musical legend Busby Berkley.

The leading lady is, as many times before, suddenly unavailable and the understudy chorus line girl is thrust into the limelight. Last minute preparations for opening night with the new star turn the entire production on its ear before the big premiere. Many memorable tunes including: 'Forty-Second Street', 'Young And Healthy', 'You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me' and 'Shuffle Off To Buffalo'.
