editI reverted the recent replacement of Image:BroadwayMelodyAd.jpg with Image:The Broadway Melody Poster.gif. My reasons for prefering the former: 1)Scanned from an original vintage source rather than something found elsewhere on the web 2)Larger, higher resolution image 3)In jpg format, prefered by Wikipedia over gif. -- Infrogmation 16:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- Put the ad back again. -- Infrogmation 01:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I put the ad mentioned above back again, as it was removed with no explanation offered. If there is some reason it should be deleted, please explain, thanks. -- Infrogmation 04:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I made a correction on the two sisters. Harriet (Hank) is oblivious about the developing love of Eddie and Queenie until the famous climax when she finally puts things together and sends Eddie off to fight for Queenie, and then starts crying and laughing in alternation. It's Queenie who is dating the stage door Johnny in hopes of keeping Hank and Eddie together.--Syd Henderson (talk) 00:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Three questions (answered?): 1. The strange plot of Queenie and Hank and Eddie -- I picked that up, but thought i must be wrong. Is there more than just opinion that this was the intended interpretation? I answer myself by pointing to the mgm site that says the story is by so-and-so; and the story was probably published in a magazine somewhere...
1b. Then at the end when Eddie invites Hank to come and live with him and Queenie -- hmmm? who wrote the story? Reputed to be flagrantly bi by the standards of the time. The dirty meaning was presumaby intended...
2. Wedding of painted doll dancer, introduced as the pastor -- much better than the rest of the troupe, a very appropriately madcap performance. Is there a name?
3. i think that was just a wrong idea. cancel question 3.
Give My Regards to Broadway
editThe article summary says "Give My Regards to Broadway" is in this film, but I didn't hear it, and it's also not listed in the Musical Numbers section. What's up? 24.57.239.43 (talk) 10:45, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- Good catch, I added the song and also added another reference for the musical numbers.JeanColumbia (talk) 12:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC) (Add: as to your comment "but I didn't hear it", I have never seen this film, so I cannot comment or speculate.JeanColumbia (talk) 13:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC))
