It's a long way to Busby!
The film is over-long, sometimes boring and a typically over-produced, shiny, uninspired MGM picture. But because of Jeannette MacDonald it is ok. One has to wait long until the eccentric Busby Berkeley finale. It is one of his lesser known works but his genius triumphs even at MGM! It is a must for all Berkeley fans and I highly recommend the film because of this few minutes!
Forgotton treasure !
Broadway Serenade is a film I have not come across before.However it is a great film with marvelous musical numbers and great dramatic content. Jeanette fans will love it as it gives her the opportunity to act with other great stars from the MGM stable.
The story line is nothing special,but is still pleasing and has a happy ending,so what's not to love.
Thoroughly recommended.
Bad picture for Jeanette.
Making this one was a very sad & trying time for her. Too bad that Tyrant Mayer could'nt see that thru the dollar signs.
