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 05/29/2023 An absolute mess. The acting is worst of all. See more 06/30/2016 above ave musical for WWII audiences See more 07/24/2015 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."

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.
