| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Broadway Melody of 1940 |
|---|
Fred Astaire competes for a spot in the big time, as well as a spot in Eleanor Powell's heart! When a mix up occurs, Fred's partner recieves the chance to dance with Powell, even though Fred was the destined star. A lively wonderful romantic musical that'll be sure to impress you with the dances, including Begin the Beguine!
