Vaginal Davis Presents: Rising Stars, Falling Stars - We Must Have Music!

On May 26 Vaginal Davis presents the fourth and final part of the MGM musical series "Broadway Melody": In BROADWAY MELODY OF 1940 (Norman Taurog, USA 1940), Fred Astaire and George Murphy play a down on their luck dance duo, whose friendship is put to the test when a chance at big-scale Broadway fame at the side of starlet Claire Bennett (played by Eleanor Powell) presents itself. Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell, the biggest dance stars of their time, appeared here for the first and only time together before the camera, with Cole Porter taking care of the music.
