| Description: | Lovely, gifted Irene Foster (Eleanor Powell) comes to the Great White Way hoping that childhood-sweetheart-turned-Broadway-producer Robert Gordon (Robert Taylor) will recognize her - and her talent. He's too busy sparring with a dirt-dishing gossip columnist (Jack Benny) to notice, but his wisecracking, heart-of-gold secretary (Una Merkel) certainly does. She and Irene must use their wits - and all of Irene's abilities - to show Robert what he's missing. Nominated for two 1935 Oscars® (Best Picture and Best Original Story) and winner of one (Best Dance Direction), this film made Powell an overnight star, made musical numbers like "You Are My Lucky Star" and "Broadway Rhythm" instant standards and was an enormous smash hit.Broadway Melody Of 1936 (1935) is a classic musical film now available on DVD from Wara, a renowned distributor known for its dedication to bringing timeless cinema to modern audiences. This sparkling MGM production, directed by Roy Del Ruth, dazzles with lavish dance numbers and memorable songs that capture the spirit of Broadway?s golden era. The story follows aspiring songwriter Robert Gordon as he navigates love and ambition in New York's vibrant theater scene.
The film stars Eleanor Powell, celebrated for her extraordinary tap dancing skills and later acclaimed performances in "Born to Dance" and "Rosalie." Robert Taylor brings charm as the male lead; his career would soar with roles in classics like "Waterloo Bridge" and "Quo Vadis." Jack Benny adds comedic brilliance?he was already famous for his radio show and would become an entertainment legend. Director Roy Del Ruth had previously helmed hits such as ?Blessed Event? and ?Topper Returns,? establishing himself as a versatile filmmaker. Composer Nacio Herb Brown contributed iconic melodies here after successes with musicals like ?Singin? in the Rain.? With this release, Wara continues its tradition of preserving cinematic gems for collectors and new fans alike. |
