Broadway Melody
Year: 1929
Grade: B+
Country: USA
Director: Beaumont
Reviewstarts as a light-hearted little comic musical, but actually turns into an enjoyable drama of sorts. it’s got a bit of showgirls in it in that it shows some of the darker elements of show business. it has an unexpected degree of poignancy in the second half and the characters seem to flourish as the film progresses. not a bad best picture winner.
