Broadway Melody (Special Edition) (Full Frame)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Broadway is auditions, struggle and heartbreak - where moxie counts above talent and the show must go on. Beloved show-biz scenarios could finally be heard as well as seen in this Academy Award(R)-winning Best Picture. History's first "All Talking! All Singing! All-Dancing!" movie was also All Hit, drawing enough 35-cents admissions to pile up an enormous $4-million box office. The film's sound-technology innovations were revolutionary, the performances had gusto, the Arthur Free/Nacio Herb Brown songs became irresistible standards and when all was danced, acted and voh-doh-de-oh-dohed, a new American art form emerged: the movie musical.
