Directed by Ray Enright and Busby Berkeley
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

(DVD, Warner Bros)
Entertaining, if predictable, backstage musical, one of the endless rehashes of 42nd Street. The ever-grinning Dick Powell needs money to put on his latest production. Joan Blondell blackmails a gullible old man for the dough, and the show goes on. The highlight are the usual Busby Berkeley gargantuan production numbers, which start with a giant face of Ruby Keeler and end with a giant face of Dick Powell.
