In the print edition,

21A is singular when it should be plural
55A the clue is the answer
37D clue is missing
38D clue is missing

Does no one check these over?

Theme OK, not real exciting.
Print edition lacks the 38D clue, and its 55A clue is broken. These issues are fixed in online edition.
There is a dupe between a word in a clue and the answer to 35A. Not illegal but frowned on in some circles. The offending clue could easily be changed.
The cross of 38D and 43A is not inferrable if you (like me) don’t know one of the names. I guessed lucky.
After filling in 55D from crosses, I had to look up how that is an answer to the clue. Never heard of that game.
