    Good things come in pairs ...
  

*by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2011*

A great package of two very nice musicals from the 1930s.  Robert Taylor and Eleanor Powell are fantastic in both - bright, attractive and talented.  The story lines are average but interesting enough, both of them concerned with putting on Broadway shows, and all the joys and problems connected with this kind of endeavor.  The songs are good and the sets are classic New York Art Deco.  If you are into this kind of thing, you won't be disappointed.  Other reviewers have commented mostly on Eleanor, who is indeed an exceptional dancer and a classy woman in every way. But I think the real standouts were Buddy Ebsen and Judy Garland.Buddy was a funny personality, a natural actor and a fantastic dancer.  He brightens up every scene he is in, shaggy hairdo and all.  He was a beatnik before the word existed.  And he set the tone for physical comedy on screen for years to come.  Sad to think that he would have been the Tin Man had the toxic aluminum paint not put him in the hospital... oh well, there's a world beyond  imagining awaiting Jed in Beverly Hills.And then there's Judy Garland, in one of her first starring roles.  So young and fresh and full of life, Baby Gumm belts out the most rousing song of the film, "Everybody Sing", pulling a whole room full of folks into the excitement with her.  Despite a horrible outfit and soundproof walls, she shines like no other could.  And then there's "You Made Me Love You", which is arranged with an intro and break all centered around Clark Gable.  This song brought her a funny kind of fame - here it is to see and hear at its origin.  There's also a great tap dance with Buddy at the climax of the film, which reminds you that she was a great dancer in addition to being one of the greatest singers of the century.  This film put her on everybody's radar, wondering what role she might find herself in next...Sometimes films from the thirties are great and sometimes they're not worth it, considering what else there is to choose from.  These two fall squarely in the former category, and are a solid buy for anyone who loves classic musicals and appreciates real talent on the silver screen.

    A Confection of a Movie
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2012*

"Broadway Melody of 1936" is a confection of a movie, meant to sweeten the lives of Depression weary Americans.  It stars the unlikely triumvirate of Jack Benny, Eleanor Powell and Robert Taylor.  The plot is flimsy, involving the parallel efforts of a columnist (Benny) trying to save his career, a Broadway producer (Taylor) trying to find a star for his new show and a dancer (Powell) trying to get her big break on Broadway.All this is secondary to the wonderful songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed: "I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin'";  "Broadway Rhythm"; "You Are My Lucky Star"; "On a Sunday Afternoon";" Sing Before Breakfast."  The production numbers for each song range from clever to spectacular.  "I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin" is sung by Taylor and New York actress June Knight.  The special effects are a delight, especially as they are done so long before CGI.Powell proves, as always, that she is unmatched as a dancer--her energy, grace and strength are a marvel.  She dances solo, with Buddy and Vilma Ebsen, with Nick Long, Jr. and with huge choruses.Nor can the acting be faulted.  Jack Benny is excellent as the gossip-obsessed wise-cracking and scheming columnist.  Robert Taylor is remarkably poised and mature for his years (24) and even has a nice singing voice. The second banana roles are filled admirably by Sid Silvers and Una Merkel.  If Powell and Knight are less impressive when their feet are still, it doesn't matter--their dancing more than redeems them."Broadway Melody of 1936" was a high budget, high gloss, pull out all the stops, MGM production.  No expense was spared for the costumes, sets, choreography or photography. The direction by Roy del Ruth is crisp and effective.  We could use more films like this in our own economically challenged times.

    Great Old Musical - Poor Packaging
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2014*

I haven't seen this film in some years and I'm sure it's still just as entertaining now...However, the current packaging leaves a lot to be desired. These films are now being released in wafer-thin packages that makes storage with standard DVD discs a problem. The normal packages of DVD films give you a chance to see the title of the film clearly along the title back of the package. This extra slim package means you have to get up close and personal to read the title.  For someone who has a large collection of films in standard DVD cases these "economy packs" leave a lot to be desired. Amazon should alert customers to the fact that these are in "economy slim packs."
