I think that it is interesting that the topics are related to Broadway musicals and stars. They ate reproducing these stories and songs on film. I wish they did that more today then a lot more people who don’t get to go to New York to see Broadway can experience it. I believe if the this film did not have the censorship they may have explored the relationship more realistically but the depression is also a factor. People went to the movies to forget all their problems so they wanted to express this on film. This was a form do entertainment that people could afford to do even with the depression.
