	New York State Writers Institute - Manhattan Melodrama Film Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		MANHATTAN MELODRAMA is a classic MGM confection, made up of a substrate of Depression grit under a varnish of MGM gloss.
		MANHATTAN MELODRAMA was directed by studio craftsman W. Van Dyke, who was responsible for Powell and Loy’s THE THIN MAN, among many others.
		The glossy MANHATTAN MELODRAMA caught little of the flavor of Dillinger’s life, which had been conducted on the run, in squalid rural hideouts and dusty Midwestern back roads, lurching from one bank robbery to another, the hard-won money never buying him the security or the elegance he craved.

	Manhattan Melodrama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manhattan Melodrama (1934) is a crime melodrama film, produced by MGM Pictures.
		Filmed relatively quickly and with a modest budget, Manhattan Melodrama was expected to return a profit, but not to capture the imagination of the public.
		Its success surprised the studio and made stars of Myrna Loy and William Powell in the first of their fourteen screen pairings.

	Movie Review - Manhattan Melodrama - eFilmCritic
		Supposing the “melodrama” was specifically in reference to the disconnected love triangle formed between two childhood orphans grown up and the damsel with higher aspirations, it maintains a maturity and sophistication that the term’s current use has been reduced to by tar-and-feathering it to such unctuous platitudes.
		Quickly outpacing the disaster and juvenile elements in which the film begins in, it is arguably a very adult film with a credibly thorough exploration of those decisions that become “every day” based upon the lifestyle of the decision-maker.
		One of the few issues and disappointments rising not from the theatrical treatment or lack thereof, is the noticeable absence of Manhattan’s impression and bearing on the proceedings.

		We have all lost count of the number of times we have seen a film where two friends are on opposite sides of the law, but "Manhattan Melodrama" is redeemed by the performances of the principle players.
		"Manhattan Melodrama" is almost more interesting for the "story behind the story." John Dillinger, a Myrna Loy fan, was killed immediately after seeing this movie in Chicago.

		The name of the movie became Manhattan Melodrama and the scene for the song changed to a Harlem nightclub.
		The last song that John Dillinger heard in Manhattan Melodrama was that torch song called The Bad in Ev'ry Man written by Rodgers and Hart.
		Manhattan Melodrama was destined, when it was released, to reinforce Gable's tough-guy image and to revive Powell's flagging career.

	The Thin Man Part 1, page 1
		The film was Manhattan Melodrama and Van Dyke immediately saw the potential in their natural chemistry from their first day together on the shoot.
		When Loy first reported to the Manhattan Melodrama set there had been no time for her to be introduced to her co-star Powell.
		From that very first scene (in Manhattan Melodrama), a curious thing passed between us, a feeling of rhythm, complete understanding, an instinct of how one could bring out the best in the other.

		New lyrics were written and the song was called "Manhattan Melodrama," to be put in the picture of the same name.
		When we were in California in July 1933, working for Paramount, we received a telegram from Jack Robbins suggesting that we take the melody of "Payer," "Manhattan Melodrama," and "The Bad in Ev'ry Man" and write for it what was called a 'commercial' lyric, and let him publish it.
		Melodrama -- "It's just that kind of play...Manhattan Melodramae (variation)" a drama abounding in romantic sentiment and agonizing situations, with a musical accompaniment only in parts which are especially thrilling or pathetic.

	W. S. Van Dyke - Manhattan Melodrama \| Movie (1934)
		There are a couple of spots where perhaps Gable as the too suave hoodlum is glorified a bit, but there are also many offsetting speeches by Powell as the DA as he charges the jury to remember that there's no longer public sympathy with bootleggers.
		Or the inevitable Last Mile business in the death house with the colored convict, the surcharged atmosphere of bravado, etc. But in toto Manhattan Melodrama will never bore, and please generally.
		Mickey Rooney and Jimmy Butler in the juve portions are tiptop.

	The Story of "Blue Moon"
		So Hart wrote a lyric for the song to be used as the title song (played either before or during the opening credits of the Movie)...
		But before "High Noon", you just didn't have too many title songs, so "Its Just That Kind of a Play" AKA The Manhattan Melodrama was cut.
		Rodgers liked the melody and when MGM asked for a nightclub number for "Manhattan Melodrama", he had Hart write new lyrics and "Prayer (Oh Lord, make me a movie star)" became "The bad in every man" sung by Shirley Ross.

		One of the many gangster film fans who turned out in July 1934 to see Manhattan Melodrama was John Dillinger (accompanied by the "Lady in Red").

	Terrible affair that General Slocum explosion... \| MetaFilter
		One hundred years ago today, 1,358 members of the Kleindeutschland, the German neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, boarded a chartered ferry named the General Slocum for a picnic excursion to Long Island.
		The elevated trains on Manhattan on the east side were crowded with bandaged survivors, their clothes soaked with water and most of them still in the same condition of panic that struck them when the boat caught fire.
		The disaster is ably re-created at the beginning of the 1930s film "Manhattan Melodrama," with a very young Mickey Rooney as a survivor.

		Here, he and his two daughters, who served as co-writers, turn their story into that of Johnny Sullivan (Paddy Considine), who brings his wife Sarah (Samantha Morton) and his daughters Christy and Ariel (played by real-life sisters Sarah and Emma Bolger) to live in a dingy apartment in Manhattan.
		While Sarah works a low-paying job, Johnny pursues his dream of becoming an actor.

		If you can get past the first fifteen minutes or so, what saves this film is the three leads: William Powell, Clark Gable, and Myrna Loy.
		Of course, in this story about unpunished crime vs. betraying a friend, nobody ever considers the third way, but then it wouldn't be a melodrama anymore, would it?
