Hank and Queenie want to be member of the show so they tried to do everything until people in the theam accepted them.In real,Eddie was in love with Hank, but when he meets Queenie at first time, he falls in love to her but he never told this to Hank. After Hank and Queenie already join this show, Queenie become famous and then she is courted by Jack Warriner, a member of the New Yorker high society. Both of Hank and Eddie always told Queenie to stay far away from Jack because Jack treat Queenie is not more than a toy. At first, Queenie did not believe them and tried to against by do anything she want but after a party, she found that all the thing that she did not believe,it comes true. On the other hand, Hank knew something that Eddie did not love her anyway. Hank was so sad and decide to leave. In the end, Queenie falls in love with Eddie also and finally Hank leave from them.


This is black and white movie that present how value it has. It also show American tradition, broadway melody. People who want to dance and sing a song on the stage, they should have patient, attention, and talent in singing and dancing. Both of Hank and Queenie can be a good example because they have dream and in the end they can reach their goal.

You can always tell it is the Great Depression if Shirley Temple is singing and dancing in it.

These movies were designed to make us feel good watching them. Can you see this design in the movie? So much sweetness. So much love. Watch too many and you would have to go to the dentist to take care of all those cavities caused from the sweet.

Good job of blogging.
