have seen a lot of singing and dancing movies before, so the requirements for such movies may be relatively high. The movie Broadway Melody can only be said to be so-so when I look at it now. But more than 80 years ago, it should be considered a shocking work. From the first silent film to the second audio film, this is a historic leap.
The singing and dancing performances in the movie are remarkable. Some music sounds very good now. The tap dance that appeared shortly after the opening also made people shine. Although the overall arrangement is still poor, for old movies, the audience's tolerance will naturally be higher.
The plot is a little bit bloody, but it is still infected by the deep friendship of the two sisters, and in the end Hank even cedes his favorite man to Quinney. Now filming this kind of love triangle plot, there will definitely be a scene of sisters tearing up. It's just that the ending was too sudden, Quinny was with Eddie, and Hank focused on his career and ran around. Although she loves her career, this kind of life is not what she desires. She has made sacrifices for the two people she loves most.
It can also be seen from the movie that fitness shaping was not popular in that era. The figures of the actresses were not very tight, and you could see a lot of fat.
