The Broadway Melody is an early
musical film. The plot involves the romances of musical comedy stars, starring
Charles King[?],
Anita Page[?] and
Bessie Love (who was nominated for an

1929 film was written by
Norman Houston[?] and
James Gleason[?] from a story by

Harry Beaumont[?].
A silent version was also released. The movie was so popular, that two more movies with similar titles, Broadway Melody of 1938 and Broadway Melody of 1940, were released. The movie was also remade in 1940 as Two Girls on Broadway.
