The Broadway Melody (1928/1929)

The Broadway Melody was the second movie to win "Best Picture" at the Academy Awards. It was interesting to see how movies looked and felt compared to ones made a few years later. The story was not exactly something different and the entire movie felt very simplistic. However, as one of the very first musicals ever made, it was cute.

As an older sister of a younger sister, I really hated how this movie ended. The older sister has been a man's top choice for years. Then when he sees her younger sister all grown up, he prefers her. In the end, the older sister basically forfeits the guy so her sister will not end up with a sugar daddy. There is a point to being a good older sibling but ruining your own chance at happiness is crossing a line.
