Review of Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935) by Keiko N — 09 Apr 2009
This classic musical revue takes a little while to get going, but when it gets going, boy does it get going! Jack Benny is a great thread throughout the song and dance numbers and his comedy scenes are a real treat.
The thin plot concerns a singer who seeks out her high school sweetheart in NY now that he's a big time Broadway producer. The song and dance numbers are great - especially the ones with a young Buddy Ebsen and his sister Velma.
The movie doesn't have a whole lot of substance, but it has a lot of style. It's a fun, light-hearted classic that evokes an exciting feeling of the heyday of Broadway musicals.
