 | | BROADWAY MELODY OF 1936 (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1935), directed by Roy Del Ruth, from an original story by Moss Hart, with choreography by Dave Gould and Albertina Rasch, marked the new beginning in the cycle of MGM musicals that would be carried over through the 1950s. |
 | | Not only does she tap dance her way to fame and success, she does an imitation of Katharine Hepburn from a scene in MORNING GLORY (RKO, 1933) to acting the role of the fictitious French actress, Mademoiselle LaBelle Arlette, in order to appear in the upcoming musical show. |
 | | The dance number, set in reality, suddenly turns into fantasy after Nick Long Jr., a hoofer who physically resembles Fred Astaire but dances like Gene Kelly, dancing about while the other guests join in as their attire continues to change back and forth in split screen. |
