The dramatics tend to fall flat, but the old standards are pleasing.

Lullaby of Broadway is a musical of fits and starts. Parts work, parts fail, and while the overall result does not feel like old Hollywood at its best, individual elements glimmer with charm, or amusement, or simple aesthetic appeal.

B-

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.

The movie is cute and has some fun musical numbers but it also just suddenly ends.

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!

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.

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!

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.
