Editorial Reviews

Jeanette MacDonald had just been named "Queen of the Movies" BY 22,000,000 filmgoers in a 1939 New York daily News opinion survey. She stars in this elegant and alluring, fun-filled musical, co-starring leading man Lew Ayres. It's a rich and fitting tribute to the Broadway stage.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much "lonely heart"!, August 16, 2009

This review is from: Broadway Serenade [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I wanted to give 2 stars, but then maybe some like Tschaikovsky's "None but the Lonely Heart" done to death. Both leads deserved a much better story and more variety in the music. OK if you're not expecting too much.

Making this one was a very sad & trying time for her. Too bad that Tyrant Mayer could'nt see that thru the dollar signs.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a long way to Busby!, August 22, 2008

This review is from: Broadway Serenade [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The film is over-long, sometimes boring and a typically over-produced, shiny, uninspired MGM picture. But because of Jeannette MacDonald it is ok. One has to wait long until the eccentric Busby Berkeley finale. It is one of his lesser known works but his genius triumphs even at MGM! It is a must for all Berkeley fans and I highly recommend the film because of this few minutes!
