What a beautiful documentary. I just LOVED IT. No praise is enough. I just can't wait for the second part. Thank you very much for this great content. Did I say I love it?
Great video great work - one of the last good musicals I remember on film was 1968's "Oliver!" deserving of Best Picture and it's 6 Oscars, plus it was a financial hit. a year later I saw what I thought killed film musicals "Hello Dolly!" - absolutely dreadful.
People need to remember that prior to being hemmed in by sound, silent directors were taking cinema to very artistic heights. Audio equipment was almost unwieldy When Shearer, et al, came up with studio dubbing movies were able to continue their upward creative trajectory. Many early sound movies look flat and stage-like, because of the audio equipment
Man, why did you block comments on your excellent Alian Delon docu!? You did such a good job. YT comments are arguably the most important creative sources for people communicating freely from the heart! Please reconsider and let us free on Alain Delon. Thank you 🙃
I have to agree with most of the reviews for The Broadway melody, its BP win is one of those that make sense in the context it was given but as film hasn't aged well at all. A musical movie from that same year that's actually better done is Pál Fejös' Broadway, technically more impressive and slightly better written and acted than BM.
"BROADWAY MELODY," I LOVE THE FILM ! Everything is great. Oh, yeah, I've seen High School Musicals that were performed better, but consider with High School Musicals generally the audience knows the performers. There is a bias. "BROADWAY MELODY" everything was new. Even the music 🎶 all "jazzed-up." Forget not. Audience for the most part, had memories of the insane horror of human cruelty, the "GREAT WAR." (=WW1). Living in the "roaring twenties," almost everything was new, from neon light to motorcycles; commercial air travel, ha ! ha ! talking pictures. All jazzed-up, w/new words and ideas. "WE" could have enjoyed the computer age, but for pathological insanity of greed. Corruption and hypocrisy so astonishingly (joke=) public it would enbarrass the devil 😈 ! See story of the rich man, ..."'Fool ! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have repared, whose will they be ? So is the one who lays up treasure for himself' and is not rich toward GOD."

Why put in bold type across scenes of the Jazz Singer - it's also racist?
