Broadway Melody of 1938

4 years, 9 months ago at Jun 25 2:39
There sure is a lot here. Broadway Melody of 1938 is one of those “something for everyone” entertainments that winds up being of little value to anyone. It doesn’t settle into its backstage theatrical story, its supporting plot about an aging performer is just there, and there’s a lot of time spent on horseracing and training a thoroughbred. At least the film is smart enough to often cede ... read more

Wealthy Caroline Whipple backs a musical revue by handsome young Steve Raleigh (Robert Taylor). By coincidence, when Mrs. Whipple decides to sell Stargazer, her underachieving racehorse, Sally Lee (Eleanor Powell), who raised the horse, turns out to be a talented dancer in search of work. Frustrated by Steve's attraction to Sally and plans to star her in the show, Mrs. Whipple pulls her support, leaving Steve, Sally and dancer Sonny Ledford dependent on Stargazer's performance.

Broadway Melody of 1938

“There sure is a lot here. Broadway Melody of 1938 is one of those “something for everyone” entertainments that winds up being of little value to anyone. It doesn’t settle into its backstage theatrical story, its supporting plot about an aging performer is just there, and there’s a lot of time spent on horseracing and training a thoroughbred. At least the film is smart enough to often cede the floor to its biggest strengths: its female stars.   Eleanor Powell gives one of those happily broke, starry-eyed dreamer performances that litter the Depression-era musical, but she’s at least cute and charming about it. Sure, her character plays a bit like a well-adjusted speed freak set loose upon the populace, but we also get to watch her dance. Powell is a so-so actress but a dynamite” read more
