The Saturday Musical: On the Avenue

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Dick Powell, Madeleine Carroll, Alice Faye with The Ritz Brothers.

A satirical sketch in a Broadway revue leads to a madcap romance between the star of the show and America's richest heiress.
The last of three musicals featuring the songs of the great Irving Berlin - this week a classic 30s back-stage musical co-starring Dick Powell with the prototype of the cool blonde, Madeleine Carroll.
