Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Broadway Melody (1929)

Compared to the other duds I've seen from this year, it's not bad. No one seems completely comfortable with their lines & some of the acting is a tad histrionic -- but the story's fine, though stretched about 40 minutes too long. And boy…I was born about 60 years too late. My thighs apparently woulda fit right into a chorus line if I'd been alive back then!
