I went into this one with incredibly low expectations as it's a sort of follow-up to the 1929 film The Broadway Melody which I consider the worst best picture winner ever. So while this is completely forgettable, it actually wasn't too bad at all and could be reworked into a delightful high school musical.
We follow a newspaper man whose boss is forcing him to chase the 30s equivalent of clickbait and a girl from Albany who wants to make it big on Broadway. There's a hotshot stage director whom she went to high school with, but he tries to send her home to protect her from the industry. Meanwhile the reporter enjoys targeting the director for perceived scandals to do with his fundraising.
While the plot may be charming enough, the musical numbers are just flat boring.
25 to go...
