Finkielman has offered the opinion that without the missing Carlos Gardel scenes The Big Broadcast of 1936 is "worthless." I agree with him that it is an unremarkable film - much the weakest entry in the generally superior Big Broadcast series.
However, I strongly disagree with his confident assertion that "nobody ever cared for" the many other well-known radio and musical performers who appear in the film, and that the _only_ reason anyone would ever want to watch the movie today is because it contains Gardel's last performance on film.

Merman went to Hollywood in September 1933 and costarred with Bing Crosby in the film WE'RE NOT DRESSING, released in April 1934, and with Eddie Cantor in KID MILLIONS, released in November 1934.
(Her cameo in BIG BROADCAST OF 1936, released in September 1935, was actually an outtake from WE'RE NOT DRESSING.) She scored a hit in November 1934 with "An Earful of Music" (music by Walter Donaldson, lyrics by Gus Kahn) from KID MILLIONS.
She returned to Broadway-and to her greatest success yet-in Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" (N.Y., Nov. 21, 1934), which ran 420 performances with a score that included "You're the Top" and "I Get a Kick Out of You," both of which she recorded for hits.

Temple famously struck it big at Fox Studios, and for a time it looked as if Holt would follow suit.

And Mary-Leigh reports that he used to call himself a "high-priced whore" for having to do radio work to support himself.
