Program Description
Event Details
Ever since sound came into film, the musical has been a popular genre. With song often comes dance. For this month, we will be showing musicals that contain innovative and influential dance sequences that are still talked about generations later.
On this night, we will be watching Norman Taurog's 1940 film "Broadway Melody of 1940" starring Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, and George Murphy.
Johnny Brett and King Shaw are an unsuccessful dance team in New York. A producer discovers Brett and wants him to be the new partner for star Clare Bennett, but Brett, who thinks the producer is one of the people they lent money to, gives him the name of his partner.
