42nd Street ***** (1933, Warner Baxter, Ruby Keeler, Bebe Daniels, George Brent, Una Merkel, Guy Kibbee, Dick Powell, Ginger Rogers) – Classic Movie Review 3057
Director Lloyd Bacon’s 1933 movie virtually created, certainly established for all time the clichés of the backstage musical genre. Despite its great, venerable age, 42nd Street is still faster, funnier and brighter – and simply just […]

‘Ed, this isn’t the real world. You’ve surrounded yourself with a bunch of weirdoes!’ – Ed Wood’s girlfriend Dolores Fuller. In this sensationally good 1994 film, Johnny Depp is at his most winning as the […]
