The careful building of the eye-level proscenium that's exploded by swooping cinematic music

CinePassion
Oddly enough, in 42nd Street, Warner Baxter is a rather convincing stage director, Bebe Daniels has a surprisingly good voice and a fair sense of comedy, and the dancing and song routines are introduced with some imagination.

Vanity Fair
Rating: 4.5/5 --
The liveliest and one of the most tuneful screen musical comedies that has come out of Hollywood.

New York Times
Film benefits from great musical numbers and its portrait of the show's director, one of the few well-developed gay characters in a 1930's Hollywood film.

Classic Film and Television
This 1933 film is the best known of the Warner Brothers Depression-era musicals, though it doesn't compare in dash and extravagance to later entries in the cycle.

Rating: 4/5 --
A deliciously funny musical; racy and light years ahead of its time.

Rating: 4/5 --
Of Golden Age musicals, 42nd Street is about as close to the archetype as they come.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Meet a dewy-eyed ingenue, a gee-whiz tenor, stuck-up stars, hard-up producers, brassy blondes and "shady ladies from the '80s." They're all denizens of 42nd Street, belting out ageless Harry Warren/Al Dubin songs and tapping out Busby Berkeley's sensational Depression-lifting production numbers.
