A famous Broadway director ([[Warner Baxter]]) takes on a new show despite his ill health, then faces disaster at every turn, including the loss of his leading lady on opening night. The film features [[Bebe Daniels]] as the star of the show and Berkeley regulars [[Guy Kibbee]], [[Ginger Rogers]], [[Dick Powell]], and [[Ruby Keeler]], whom Baxter implores, "You're going out a youngster, but you've got to come back a star!"

''42nd Street'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 1998.
