broadway melody of 1940

May 23 movie: Broadway Melody of 1940. Fred Astaire loves Eleanor Powell from afar, but his drunken louse of a dancing partner (George Murphy) unwittingly steals his big break -- to be Powell's leading man on Broadway. This is a really fun, funny movie, although it lacks any really memorable dance numbers. Which is probably why it's not a classic like the Astaire/Rogers films.
