Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film The Broadway Melody. My friend Kevin Pettit from the See You at the Movies newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about whether the film was there just to support the music being played, the degree to which this film is was considered scandalous at the time, and whether or not the film earns the love triangle (quadrangle?) that serves as the centerpiece to the "action."You can watch The Broadway Melody on YouTube or purchase a copy for your collection and be sure to check out Kevin's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:Glorious Betsy directed by Alan Crosland and Gordon Hollingshead (listen to the episode discussing the film)Tombstone directed by George P.
