Headin' for Broadway

I can't believe that as of this writing, this film rates 8 out of 10. This is the worst film about dancing ever made. It's so bad, it's good. The opening dance number between Paul Carafotes (Ralph Morelli) and Gary Glendell is as if it was written out of an SNL sketch on dance movies. This movie is so badly written, i could only be compounded by the stunningly bad choreography of Gene Foote, who also plays Jay Weston. Rent it for laughs at your next video screening.

This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen about dancing, singing, performing, great movie for anyone. That has a dream, or for the pure enjoyment. I could watch this movie over and over again

Help. I've been trying to find this movie since the early 80's. I saw it on HBO and really liked it. Didn't own a VCR at the time and never taped it. Now I've been on this search forever. I actually look through the entire TV guide every sunday morning. I haven't found it on any video sites, this is the only place I've ever found mention of it. Where are people seeing it?

I remember watching this movie every time I could when it was on TV back in the 1980's. It was very easy to connect with the characters, they were 'real people', ordinary, not overdone or overly complicated. I could imagine these characters in the real world. I have been looking for a copy of this movie, and I wish they would release it on DVD. While my fondness for Headin' For Broadway might be related to my youth, the real feel of the characters and the plot lines are definitely worth a viewing. What an amazing movie, down-to-earth, nothing real flashy from what I remember, but I loved some of the songs, and I would LOVE to see this again!

This film is a less pretense than chorus line,but not as entertaining as Fame. It sets up and unfolds in sort of a predictable fashion as it presents a story of four wannabees trying out for Broadway-A country girl who is always the star of the local plays,a Los Angeles hot shot, a brooklyn street dancer and a poor girl from harlem.One makes it,one takes a secondary role,one doesn't make it but has something to fall back on,and one dosen't make it and loses something else in the process.

This film has its moments but never really reaches a climax. Still with so many people addicted to American Idol and Dancin with the stars,this film deserves at least another look
