An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) 42nd Street, the classic 1933 Lloyd Bacon New York City Broadway theater stage acting romantic love triangle all-star musical ("14 stars 200 girls"; based on the novel by Bradford Ropes; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; with dances staged by Busby Berkeley) starring Dick Powell, Edward J.

Stone, Ned Sparks, Ruth Eddings, Edna Callahan, Lynn Browning, Toby Wing, Loretta Andrews, Barbara Rogers, and Allen Jenkins. Note that this movie, which may be the first sound movie to use the cliche of the star being injured and an untested newcomer gets her big break as a result, had some of the most risque advertising of any movie ever, with many images of girls wearing the skimpiest of costumes! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the still shows a great candid image of a showgirl from the movie, who is completely naked, except for her hat which she is holding in front of her, and the brim of the hat is a gauze material is completely see-through! The still identifies the showgirl as "Barbara Rogers", and "42nd Street" was her first movie, and she appeared in nine others apparently in similar roles. If anyone knows more about her, or what happened to her, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Obviously, it was excesses like this in sexy pre-Code movies that caused the crack down that led to censorship in movies in the 1930s! Also note that because this poster contains a naked showgirl holding a see-through hat, so we have placed a white bar over that area, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual poster does not have that white bar! Condition: very good. There are faint emulsion scuffs scattered throughout the still, but they are truthfully not very noticeable except when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
