A tedious musical comedy embedded in a routine story like a fly in celluloid.

Rating: 2/4 --
Mediocre performances and poorly-constructed musical numbers are the low points in this modestly interesting all-talking, all-singing production.

The Broadway Melody has not stood the test of time in ways that many of its more artistic contemporaries have.

The first musical and sound film to win an Academy Award for Best Picture creaks from old age.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It should perhaps be remembered that many musicals contain darkness, deep cynicism, and even high tragedy.

Zowie! What a picture! Humor, drama, romance, action, thrill! And how!

Excellent bits of sound workmanship are that of camera and mike following Page and the heavy along the dance floor to pick up their conversation as they glide.

Product Description:
A slice of vintage cinema makes a welcome return in the shape of BROADWAY MELODY OF 1929. A glorious musical, the film stars Charles King, Bessie Love, and Anita Page, all of who perform glorious turns in their respective roles. The plot is a simple love story, which sees Love and Page's characters both pursuing the same man, with tragic consequences.
