Move Over, Mamma Rose!, 19 May 2004
Author: marcslope

For most of its length, a good, tough melodrama of a mama (Alice

Brady, excellent) living her life through her reluctant daughter

(Maureen O'Sullivan), pushing her into show business and

scaring away her suitors, and with them any chance of happiness.

Co-screenwriter Bradford Ropes, who also wrote the novel on

which "42nd Street" is based, knew this tawdry milieu intimately

and wasn't afraid to expose its seamy sides; fortunately, the movie

came just before the Production Code, so its portrayal of the

shabbiness and moral compromises of the show biz doesn't pull

its punches. It resembles "Gypsy" and the great early talkie

"Applause," and in particular, its look at backstage and onstage

vaudeville is historically fascinating. Its main shortcoming is a

too-fast, too-tidy final reel that races unconvincingly toward a happy

ending. Also, Maureen O'Sullivan, pretty and spirited as always,

doesn't really convince as a young miss aiming to become the

toast of Broadway. (She's dubbed, and that's clearly a double

dancing in the long shots.) Till that rushed denouement, though,

it's a brash and winning backstager, and Brady's uncompromising, unsympathetic performance stays with one for

days.
