broadway-melody-of-1940-new-on-bluray

Product Description: The job, a career breakthrough, is supposed to go to hoofer Johnny Brett, but a mix up in names gives it to his partner. Another example of Broadway hopes dashed? Not when Johnny is played by Fred Astaire. Sparkling Cole Porter songs, clever comedy and dance legends Astaire and Eleanor Powell make the final Broadway Melody (costarring George Murphy) a film to remember. Powells nautical I Am the Captain and Astaires blissful Ive Got My Eyes on You are more than enough to please any fan. But they are just a warm up for the leads to tap one number into immortality: Begin the Beguine, introduced by Frank Sinatra in Thats Entertainment! with, You can wait around and hope, but you will never see the likes of this again.
