Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine One of those strung together epics in which every star and ham in radio, films, or the varieties gets pasted into the footage. A sickroom scene by Charles Ruggles is a pip, but they even have elephants dancing. May 4, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine With so much assorted talent as there is in Big Broadcast of 1936, there is something for everyone and it's just a case of waiting for your number to turn up.

Audience Member The best movie song ever sung(?): Miss Brown to You! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Oddball mishmash with a weak story and a few good musical numbers including "I Wished on the Moon," sung by Bing Crosby. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
