   Does Eleanor dance in Broadway Melody of 1940?

   • In Broadway Melody of 1940, Eleanor gets to dance with the real thing, and the result is marvelous. There is no big production, even thought the set is sumptuous, with a floor that is a flawless mirror. But other than that, it's the two of them, giving it all they had. Their dancing is flawless.

   • The story is not bad, either, although it didn't have the humor of 'Broadway Melody Of 1936.' However, it does have a few strange comedic moments with other acts like a juggler and comic-lady singer. The only annoying person was "Bob Casey" (Frank Morgan). I didn't think Morgan's bumbling act was funny at all.
