Reel McCoy Film Society presents bi-monthly film screenings of classic cinema.
42nd Street (1933)
89 mins, USA
Director: Lloyd Bacon
Cast: Warner Baxter, Ruby Keeler, Bebe Daniels, Dick Powell, Ginger Rogers
The archetype for all those wonderful backstage musicals. The plot sees an ailing Broadway producer attempting to mount his last musical, but what matters is the toe-tapping music (by Harry Warren and Al Dubin); the fabulous dance numbers (by Busby Berkeley) and all those delicious show-biz cliches (which weren’t cliches at the time!)
Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933)
97 mins, USA
Director: Mervyn Leroy
Cast: Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Warren William, Joan Blondell, Aline Macmahon
Three actresses start work in a show funded by Brad, the mysterious songwriter next door (Dick Powell). He and Polly (Ruby Keeler) soon fall in love but Brad’s elder brother (Warren William), mistaking Polly’s roommate Carol (Joan Blondell) for Polly, decides to romance her away from Brad to protect the family.
