Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky

Episode 25: The Broadway Melody (1929)

Released 2 January 2019

For this episode, we watched The Broadway Melody, written by Edmund Goulding, Sarah Y. Mason, Norman Houston and James Gleason with songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, and Willard Robison. The director was Harry Beaumont (nominated) and the film stars Charles King, Anita Page, Bessie Love (nominated) and Jed Prouty.

The film won only Best Picture, but it also gained the other two nominations noted above (although the status of these nominations is dubious).

Next episode we will be discussing All About Eve. If you want to watch it before listening to the next episode you can buy the DVD or Blu-Ray on Amazon.co.uk, or Amazon.com, or you can download it via iTunes (UK) or iTunes (USA).
