13. '42nd Street'

Lloyd Bacon's 1933 film follows the making of a musical titled "Pretty Lady." Star Dorothy Brock (Bebe Daniels) is torn between her old flame (George Brent) and the man funding her show (Guy Kibbee), whom she has to keep happy. When Dorothy is injured, an unknown (Ruby Keeler) may be tested to see if she has what it takes to be a star. Actress Ginger Rogers plays Keeler's streetwise chorus girl friend.

The film was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, but lost to "Cavalcade."
