Released in 1951, I first watched this film when I was a schoolboy! A while ago! Doris Day made several dozen movies, some more memorable than others - a few requiring a considerable amount of dramatic input. (She could do more than just look pretty and sing!) This early career appearance is a sign of what was to follow. Doris Day was in her mid-twenties by then and there were few actresses around who were her equal in this line of work. `Lullaby of Broadway' is a lively, well produced movie with a whole bunch of great songs. There's lots of happiness around and Day smiles a lot and displays a tribute to her dentist. It's a bit on the dated side now but its still `the great white way' and all involved give their singing and dancing best.
The transfer to DVD is not the best you'll come across but it's okay. The same goes for the sound - only single channel mono. The film is from another time - way back - but remains tunefully, cheerfully enjoyable and will do no harm to anyone. Perhaps it can be adequately described by what it says on the box - `Contains no sex, violence or bad language'!

This Technicolor musical from 1951 (Warner) has the effervescent Doris Day and the equally energetic Gene Nelson in the starring roles. To my mind, Gene Nelson is in the same class as Astaire as a singer and dancer and he gets to display his talents in this movie. The fun moments are provided by Billy De Wolfe and S.Z. Sakall.
The story concerns a stage musical star (Doris Day) who comes to see her mother in New York, who was formerly a star but is now reduced to performing in a sleazy nightclub, a demise that has also driven her to drink. The supporting cast keep this from her daughter until a final happy reunion. There is a sub-plot concerning show producer Sakall and his wife which adds to the humour. In fact, the plot is more substantial than in many a Hollywood musical but the main attraction of course is the music and dancing.
There are a host of familiar numbers including the title song by Harry Warren (mus.) and Al Dubin (lyr.), together with their `You're getting to be a habit with me', Porter's `Just one of those things', an early Gershwin melody, `Somebody loves me' with lyrics by Ballard MacDonald and Buddy De Sylva (before he teamed up with Brown and Henderson and went on to help found Capitol Records), James Hanley's `Zing went the strings of my heart', and still more. A thoroughly enjoyable movie!

Doris Day stars in this excellent movie with many classic songs that you will find yourself singing along to. Highlights from the film include the Lullaby of Broadway title number at the end of the film, and really any other song that Doris Day sings. This is a great movie with a very good feel-good factor.
