The Broadway Melody

The Great White Way truly becomes the Street of Broken Dreams when sisters Queenie and Hank Mahoney (Anita Page and Bessie Love) follow Hank's boyfriend, Eddie Kearns (Charles King), to Manhattan with visions of stardom.

While in New York, Eddie and Queenie become attracted to each other, but unwilling to betray her sister, Queenie dates a feckless cad. Now, Hank must sort out the tangle of aspirations and emotions that form this tragic love triangle.

With Academy Award nominations for "Best Director" (Harry Beaumont) and "Best Actress" (Bessie Love), and featuring the songs "You Were Meant For Me," "Broadway Melody" and "The Wedding of the Painted Doll," The Broadway Melody of 1929 became the first musical to win the "Best Picture" Oscar.
