Critic Reviews for Broadway Melody of 1936
All Critics (6) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)
The original story is credited to Moss Hart... but it was all about the production numbers and the spotlight dances by Powell.
Despite Robert Taylor's stiff, non-singing tunr, this is the second and best of the four Broadway Melody MGM made, largely due to Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown's songs and Eleanor Powell's dazzling dancing.
Strictly for those who love showbiz nostalgia.
Tuneful, danceful, full of laughs too--fun MGM series entry.
Enjoyable star musical.
The charm of the film is in some individual performances and musical numbers.
Audience Reviews for Broadway Melody of 1936
This film has a good, but utterly predictable, story. Fortunately this movie was funny, mostly because of Jack Benny, otherwise it would be another boring romantic comedy with musical numbers. Overall, pretty good.
Super Reviewer
Ah yes. The Broadway Melody of 1936...the sequel to the Broadway Melody (which I am reviewing next) and the prequel to the Broadway Melody of 1940. A good chance to catch the old vaudeville crowd but there isn't much to the story here.
