Is the movie Broadway Melody of 1936 available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we’re putting the spotlight on Broadway Melody — a vintage backstage musical that can appear in catalogs either as The Broadway Melody (1929) or under the later-styled title Broadway Melody of 1936. This story of hopeful Irene Foster trying to break through the chorus line and win the attention of producer Robert Gordon — while a wisecracking secretary and a dirt-dishing gossip columnist tangle in the wings — is pure show‑biz: full of curtain calls, quick wits, and old‑Hollywood song-and-dance charm. A landmark of the early sound era, The Broadway Melody earned industry recognition in its day and helped set the template for screen musicals to come. In this article, the Stream Tracker team checks whether you can catch this stage-bound romance on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ and guides you straight to the platform that currently has it under the spotlight.

Irene Foster, a gifted and charming performer, hopes the man she once loved—now a successful Broadway producer—will finally recognize both her and her talent. Absorbed in a public feud with a tabloid gossip columnist, he fails to notice her, but his quick-witted, warm-hearted secretary immediately sees Irene’s promise. The two women team up, devising clever plans to force him to acknowledge what he’s been overlooking.
