I'm guessing Red Dragon.

William Blake has such a distinct style, I only know the red dragon painting of his, but recognized him immediately. :)

No, nothing as subtle as that. It's Forty Second Street starring Ruby Keeler. :-D

Oh, that was much more subtle, for me at least. Never heard of that movie, which I can see I should have. :p

It's the original backstage musical: "You're going out there a youngster but you've got to come back a star!" Pretty awesome in an old timey way.

I was going to guess Seventh Seal, but I was wrong.

42nd Street is obscure? Really?

Well, to the younger generation maybe. :-D
