Broadway Melody of 1938 (1937)

In the heart of New York's vibrant theater scene, Steve Raleigh, an ambitious impresario, stumbles upon an opportunity to fulfill his dream. He secures funding for his latest Broadway extravaganza from Herman Whipple, a renowned ice cream magnate. However, a twist lies in the Whipple household: the real powerhouse is Whipple's wife, Caroline, a former chorus girl with a discerning eye for talent. Steve's dream teeters on the edge of collapse as he insists on casting Sally Lee, a fresh-faced newcomer in the city. With no established name in the theatre world but blessed with mesmerizing dance skills that Steve believes to be the best he's ever seen, Sally represents both a financial risk and a potential star. Undeniably, there's also a spark of attraction between Steve and Sally, adding to the complexity of the situation. The plot thickens as Steve, Sally, and an eclectic mix of theater enthusiasts rally together to secure the funding. This motley group includes seasoned veterans like ex-vaudevillians Sonny Ledford and Peter Trot, theatrical rooming house operator Alice Clayton, who doubles as an overly enthusiastic stage mother to her daughter Betty, and the Papaloopas duo – a father and son Greek barbers with a fondness for Italian arias. In an unexpected twist, Sally purchases Stargazer, a racehorse she trained in her youth back on her parents' farm before the Great Depression. Together with Sonny and Peter, she resolves to prepare it for a race, hoping the winnings could secure Steve's show. Through a stirring blend of ambition, artistry, and a touch of equestrian charm, Broadway Melody of 1938 weaves a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of New York's most glamorous stage.
