Broadway Melody of 1940
It would be invidious to select Broadway Melody of 1940 as the best of the films in which Fred Astaire participated. I saw it first in 1940 and have made repeat viewings since; what made it distinctive and one of the top few was the pairing of Fred Astaire with Eleanor Powell plus the music of Cole porter.
Having only recently been introduced to the DVD the first trial sample I chose was Broadway Melody of 1940; the quality of picture and sound was beyond my expectation and those who have converted and enhanced the old films to the new method of exhibition are to be congratulated.

BUT WHERE ARE THE OTHER 2 BROADWAY MELODIES 1936 & 1938.....AND HOW ABOUT AN ELEANOR POWELL BOX SET, TOO???
Doesn't everybody want to hear Judy Garland sing "You Made Me Love You" to Clark Gable's picture from B.M. of 1938? And why is this movie (B.M. of 1940) Eleanor Powell's only one on DVD??? She should have a Box Set released in the near future. Come on, Warner Bros.!
