No Place Like Movies At Home: Babe On Broadway

 See, like I said the last couple of days. I am better in the area than I have been in the last couple of years! It also helps that I finally out of a rut of movies that I wasn't too fond of. We have a very long line of musicals that are starting to take shape here!

We are continuing the rolls of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland movies with Babes on Broadway!

Tommy and his trio are out for the big time on the Great White Way! However, they closest that they have gotten is the cellar of an small Italian place in New York City. They sometimes pass by Broadway on their way home. Things aren't perfect but they know they are working regularly and they hope to make it big one day. One day is sooner than they think when they meet a woman who works for a Broadway Producer! She tells them that they can't speak a work of the audition that she is going to work out for them because it will upset her boss if everyone shows up!

So, what do they do? Tell struggling actor that they know while bragging. The creates chaos during the audition because hundred of people show up! They don't get their shot, and have to come up with another idea. That is when Tommy meets Penny. 

Penny is a actress herself, but just messed up her big chance and wondering what to do next. The two start talking and Penny invites him over for dinner, and they get to talking to a neighbor about getting the kids to the country. 

Tommy later finds out that the comity falls through on their promise to the kids, and he helps to put of a show to raise the money. However, the show gets so popular that the producer gets mad that he is being shown up right down the street from where his show is going on. 

Now, I love this movie but it doesn't have the same charm for me as Babes in Arms and Strike Up the Band have. I am not sure why because the music and great, and the movie is funny. however, If I am choosing to watch one of their movies it's not likely going to be this one. However, it's one that I would still recommend for someone who loves Micky or Judy!
