Editing The Broadway Melody (section)

==Sequels==
Three more movies were later made by MGM with similar titles: ''[[Broadway Melody of 1936]]'', ''[[Broadway Melody of 1938]]'', and ''[[Broadway Melody of 1940]]''. Although not direct sequels in the traditional sense, they all had the same basic premise of a group of people putting on a show (the films also had recurring cast members playing different roles, most notably dancer [[Eleanor Powell]] who appeared in all three).

The original movie was remade in 1940 as ''[[Two Girls on Broadway]]''. Another ''Broadway Melody'' film was planned for 1943 (starring [[Gene Kelly]] and [[Eleanor Powell]]), but production was cancelled when Kelly was loaned to [[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]] for ''[[Cover Girl (film)|Cover Girl]]'' (1944).<ref name="rain" /> ''[[Broadway Rhythm]]'', a 1944 musical by MGM, was originally to have been titled ''Broadway Melody of 1944''.
