Wunderkind producer Johnnie Demming (George Murphy) is having trouble finding an appropriate star for his latest Broadway attraction. When screen starlet Helen Hoyt (Ginny Simms) blows into town, he thinks she'd be perfect, but Helen isn't convinced Johnnie has a hit on his hands. To make things worse, Johnnie's vaudevillian father (Charles Winninger) doesn't want to be in the show, preferring to mount one of his own and steal away some of the very same talent Johnnie hopes to attract.

Steve D An absolute mess. The acting is worst of all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/23 Full Review Audience Member above ave musical for WWII audiences Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Harmless MGM musical is lovely to look at (in Technicolor) but overlong and unfocused; loosely based on the Broadway hit Very Warm for May, the score retains the Jerome Kern song "All the Things You Are;" the film also spun off the hit tunes "Amor" and "Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review ashley h Broadway Rhythm is a fun film. The music is incredible. Ginny Simms and George Murphy give great performances. The screenplay is well written. Roy Del Ruth did an amazing job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the remarkable characters. Broadway Rhythm is a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member not my cup of tea but i can't hold that against this one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
