The plot is banal, but some of the musical numbers are good, and it's an enjoyable film due to Doris Day, on her way to major stardom. Go to Full Review

RICHARD S Dec 24 Wow! Both the singing and dancing in this film are brilliant. Nelson's dancing is spectacular and makes you wonder why he is not rated as good (or even better than) Kelly and Astaire. Day's dancing skills are very impressive as well, as coached by brilliant Miriam and Gene Nelson. Beautiful technicolor, what more could you ask for when you're in the mood for an old fashioned Warner musical! See more Steve D 06/24/2023 Uninteresting and unmemorable. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 07/17/2015 Lullaby of Broadway is a fantastic film. It is about Melinda Howard who returns home from London to surprise her mother. Doris Day and Gene Nelson give incredible performances. The script is well written. David Butler did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the music and romance. Lullaby of Broadway is a must see. See more 06/26/2011 I have never seen this version of this movie before. They have done a good job with making it into a musical. Good cast, great songs, and fluffy and diverting as you'd expect a musical from this era to have been. I'm enjoying it quite a bit! See more 09/05/2010 A good story for a musical, but I didn't think the songs were all that great, it might have been better if they fit what was going on in the movie. Overall, an okay movie. See more 02/14/2009 Very good movie! I had no idea that Doris Day could dance so well! The man who played the generous kind-hearted millionaire (S.Z. Sakall) was excellent in his role, and I enjoyed the character that Billy De Wolfe portrayed (much nicer than the pompous stuffed shirt in Call Me Madam, although he did that one well, too). And Gene Nelson--what a sight for sore eyes! I can't think of which I enjoyed more--his role in this or as Will Parker in Oklahoma! See more Read all reviews
