Critic Reviews for The Big Broadcast of 1936

All Critics (2) | Fresh (2)

  • One of those strung together epics in which every star and ham in radio, films, or the varieties gets pasted into the footage. A sickroom scene by Charles Ruggles is a pip, but they even have elephants dancing.

  • With so much assorted talent as there is in Big Broadcast of 1936, there is something for everyone and it's just a case of waiting for your number to turn up.
