Reviews
Broadway received mixed reviews upon its release, with critics praising George Raft's charismatic performance but criticizing the film's predictable plot and lackluster pacing. The Hollywood Reporter stated, 'Raft shines as the troubled director, elevating the material with his on-screen presence, but the film falls short in delivering a compelling narrative.' On the other hand, Variety lauded the film's production design and musical numbers, calling them 'visually stunning and toe-tappingly entertaining.' Rotten Tomatoes' consensus reads, 'Broadway offers a nostalgic glimpse into the world of theater, but its melodramatic storyline may not resonate with all audiences.' IMDb gives the movie a rating of 6.3 out of 10, reflecting the polarizing opinions of viewers and critics alike.
