42nd Street

422
42nd Street (Musical Film, 1933)
Things were too busy to watch 42nd Street before I left for New York, but I finally found some extra time to sit down and watch it over the weekend. I already knew I was going to love the costumes – Orry Kelly must have been bloody genius – but I had no idea how hard I was going to fall for all the sweet characters! It was so upbeat and exciting the whole way through, and boy was it fun watching Busby Berkley's routines!

So many beautiful and talented ladies in the cast! They were all so adorable. Of course, Ruby Keller was my favorite – gotta go for the underdog – but I also really enjoyed watching Bebe Daniels. The whole way through she kept reminding me of an old friend, but I could never put my finger on it. 

I couldn't wait to do an outfit inspired by the movie, so I ended up going to take the photos later that afternoon. I'll have them ready to show you on Wednesday! You can see more photos of the movie here.
