Two Girls on Broadway (1940)
A remake of 1929’s The Broadway Melody, Two Girls on Broadway follows the heart-tugging adventures of a dancer who loses both her shot at the big time and her stage-partner fiancé to her talented kid sister. The story may have been a bit familiar, but the actress playing the kid sister was not. Lana Turner was film land’s newest sensation, the movie magazines’ hot seller, the Blonde Bonfire breathlessly advertised as “Hollywood’s glamour-plus girl.” With old pros Joan Blondell and George Murphy playing the other sides of the show-biz triangle and production numbers set to catchy tunes, Two Girls on Broadway proved to be a fine vehicle for Turner, showcasing the new star’s graceful dancing and unmistakable screen charisma.
