Lovely, gifted Irene Foster hopes that her childhood sweetheart-turned Broadway producer Robert Gordon will recognize her--and her talent. Gordon is too busy sparring with a dirt-dishing gossip columnist to notice, but his wisecracking, heart-of-gold secretary certainly does. She and Irene must use their wits to show him what he's missing!
The second of four Broadway Melody musicals, Broadway Melody of 1936 is considered by many the best in the MGM series, thanks largely to a sparkling performance from tap dancer Eleanor Powell in her first major role in a big-budget movie.
