Content retelling

This film tells about an interesting event that happened during the rehearsal on Broadway with the help of Eddie after Hank and Queenie came to New York. The summary is as follows: ① Hank and Eddie fell in love, and later Eddie fell in love with Queenie; ② After the two sisters were rejected for the show, Queenie took the place of the stage and was photographed by the rich man Jack; ③ On the one hand, Queenie rejected Eddie, and on the other hand, Jack took money offensively. , And finally refused to listen to persuasion to mix with Jack; ④ Hank broke his arm and used the radical method to get Eddie back to Queenie, luckily he arrived before Jack violated Queenie; ⑤ The story came to an abrupt end, and then Eddie and Queenie came together, and they also realized first dreams.

Experience

The plot is a bit artificial and confusing, the magical four-corner relationship, Eddie kisses Hank for a while and Queenie, and finally is with Queenie? ? ? And the ending is too abrupt, it ends with a swish, too sloppy.

    The proportion of song and dance is actually not that big. The level of arrangement and performance can only be said to be quite average. The language of the stage scenes is also relatively simple and rigid. As far as the positioning of an early large-scale sound song and dance film is concerned, regardless of the stage level or the audiovisual level, The 29th edition of "Broadway Melody" is a bit primitive, and I feel that Oscar was a bit anxious to help the sound film. However, although the movie is now relatively ordinary in all aspects, the tune "Broadway Melody" has become a classic, almost the name of a song and dance film. Later, when MGM made "Song in the Rain", it was positioned to be a golden age musical tour. The planning stage was to set the song first and then arrange the plot. At the risk of being criticized, it must be "Broadway Melody". The climax of the whole film also shows the status of this song.
