Footlight Parade
Climaxing Warner Bros.' glittering parade of musicals!
Directed by Lloyd Bacon
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A buoyant, energetic pre-Code musical comedy about theatrical ambition and showmanship, driven by elaborate musical numbers and romantic entanglement.
A fledgling producer finds himself at odds with his workers, financiers and his greedy ex-wife when he tries to produce live musicals for movie-going audiences.
