On the Avenue
1937, English. Directed by Roy Del Ruth.
YOU DON'T CARE WHAT THEY DO...IF THEY'LL ONLY KEEP ON DOING IT -IT'S THAT KIND OF SHOW!
A new Broadway show starring Gary Blake shamelessly lampoons the rich Carraway family. To get her own back, daughter Mimi sets out to ensnare Blake, but the courtship is soon for real, to the annoyance of his co-star, hoofing chanteuese Mona Merrick.
