| Broadway Melody (1929) |
Following Wings, this film was quite a disappointment. Sure it had decent music featured in the film, but the storyline was average and it dragged on, I felt. It was admittedly the first film to show plenty of slender, feminine legs, but this seemed the only reason it won best picture. So if you want to see some legs in a black and white film, see this film.
Why did it win Best Picture? I believe it mainly won best picture for the amount of bare, slender and feminine legs, but also for the music featured as well as it being about a stage show. I certainly hope there were better nominations that year...
