      "Broadway Melody"

      I am used to watching various tear-off dramas. In this movie, the sincere feelings of the two sisters are simply a clear stream. I won’t say that the story is more clichéd.

      Singing and dancing

      After watching this movie, I feel pretty good. The musical and dance drama in the background of that era, the choice of each singer. The film is very simple.

    The Broadway Melody quotes

    • Eddie Kearns: Hank, did you see Queenie? What's the matter Hank, aren't ya happy? Wasn't Queenie great? Aren't ya proud of her?

      Hank Mahoney: Oh, of course, Eddie. I'm glad to see her make good. Oh, but, gee, we ain't never had to get by on our legs before.

      Eddie Kearns: Oh, that don't mean nothin', Hank. Those guys are not going to pay ten bucks to look at your face; this is Broadway!

      Hank Mahoney: Yeah, "Broad's way!"

    • Uncle Jed: [Last lines] It's better to star in P-P-Pe-or, P-P-Pe - or, Osh Kosh than st-starve on Broadway.

      Moe: That's a bunk!

      Hank Mahoney: Now, you listen to me, Stupid, I'll handle things. Yes, and I'll have you back on Broadway and in The Palace! In less than six months.

      Moe: No foolin'?

      Hank Mahoney: Why, it's cream in the can, baby.

      Uncle Jed: Su-Su-Sure it is. Cre-Cre-Cre. It's, it's in the can!
