PUNQ

Rated 05 Sep 2016

Two Girls on Broadway (1940) is a remake of MGM's classic The Broadway Melody (1929). The drama works well, but the musical numbers felt like something they found in the rubbish bin. Also a bit heavyhearted seeing Joan Blondell, one of the most popular actresses in musicals of the 30s, now playing the older undesirable sister rejected by showbiz. Got to make way for the new blood, I guess. Here she was competing with the young beauty of Lana Turner who does the 'sweet young thing' nicely.
