Episode 30: 42nd Street

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

On last week's episode, Suzan was certain that this would be amazing and her choice for the 1932/1933 nominees, and her track record on week before proclamations holds steady. The first and only musical featuring Busby Berkeley's choreography to be nominated for Best Picture, 42nd Street has, no question, the best musical numbers of any movie so far featured on the Screen Test of Time, and Ginger Rogers has a cameo as a chorus girl that provides the funniest bit of business with a monocle ever to be documented on film. But will it take the Screen Test of Time award for Best Picture?
