Lloyd Bacon was a decent Warner Brothers hack. He was the equivalent of W.S. Van Dyke at MGM, but at least Bacon could list 42nd Street and Footlight Parade among his credits. Still, the worthiness of those estimable early musicals had more to do with Busby Berkeley’s contributions than anything Lloyd could bring to the table.
