Broadway is a 1942 film about Broadway theatre with George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Janet Blair, Broderick Crawford, Marjorie Rambeau, Anne Gwynne, and S.Z. Sakall. Raft plays himself, recalling an incident early in his pre-movie career as a dancer. It was directed by William A. Seiter.
Broadway is a 1929 film directed by Pál Fejös from a play by George Abbott, Phillip Dunning and Jed Harris. It stars Glenn Tyron, Evelyn Brent, Paul Porcasi, Robert Ellis, Merna Kennedy and Thomas E. Jackson.
The first movie lit entirely by tungsten lamps.
Produced as an all-talkie, it has inventive camera work that contrasts considerably against other, mostly static, musicals of the 1928-30 period. Director Paul Fejos developed a special crane capable of moving the extremely cumbersome camera at 600' per minute.
