"Sun Showers," "Yours and Mine," "Pair of New Shoes," "Follow in My ; Footsteps," "Your Broadway and My Broadway" and Sophie Tucker's remembered, "Some of These Days." Eleanor Powell outdoes her finest fin-est performance as a tap dancer extraordinary. Robert Taylor proves again his versality as an actor and he also sings very well. Without exception the players are uniformly excellent. ! An amusing story supports the lavish sets. Miss Powell, loyal to her horse-raising father, backs one of his runners. In order to keep the feed box full she dances in a night club. Taylor, as an earnest young playwright, buys the animal at an auction to save It for her and sure enough, the horse romps home a winner at the big race. "Broadway Melody of 1938" will take rank as the foremost musical picture ever produced and, with the facilities of the studio, it surpasses . anything possible on the stage. |
