1928-1929 The Broadway Melody
Another movie I watched back in the day, and it only made slightly more
of an
impression than Wings. What I remember: It was the first talkie to win,
was a musical (no music I remember), and 2 sisters love the same guy.
The girl I wanted to get the guy didn't (the younger, prettier,
flightier one did -she wasn't a bad egg, I was just rooting for the
older sister). Not a satisfying ending, with the older sister alone and
sad. But it did make history as the first talkie to get the award.
Update: I watched the movie again. Here is a more detailed review:

That sounds super depressing....
ReplyDeleteDon't worry -as the young, stunning sister, you wouldn't have a problem. ;)
