Musical, Romance
I've said before that musicals are not my favorite genre of film, so I have lots of catching up to do. But I enjoy many of the early films--from the 1930s--because they are light-hearted and the placement of the songs make sense. 42nd Street is a fun diversion, a nice escape during the Great Depression. And it's a treat to see some of the famous faces/voices of a bygone era, like Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell. While watching, it is hard not to think about how vastly different the world is today.
