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
