The Broadway Melody
US (1929): Musical
The original "All Talking! All Singing! All Dancing!" musical. Harriet ("Hank") and Queenie Mahoney (Bessie Love and Anita Page, respectively), a vaudeville act, come to Broadway, where their friend Eddie Kerns (Charles King) needs them for his number in one of Francis Zanfield's shows. Eddie was in love with Harriet, but when he meets Queenie, he falls in love with her. But she is courted by Jock Warriner, a member of the New Yorker high society. It takes a while till Queenie recognizes that she is nothing more than a toy for Jock; it also takes a while for Harriet to recognize that Eddie is really in love with Queenie. (IMDb)
