Review of Lullaby of Broadway

. . . was originally featured by the always eponymous Warner Bros.' GOLD DIGGERS OF 1935 as a warning to America about the dangers of Repealing the USA's 18th Constitutional Amendment (and, consequently, Prohibition itself). In its initial iteration, LULLABY OF BROADWAY pictured the tragic tale of a lady lush who flings herself off a high-rise due to Demon Rum. Sure enough, the U.S. ignored this Cassandra-like clarion caution call from Warner. The "dashboard" at F.A.B. (Facts about Booze) currently documents 73,201,434 Americans slain between late 1933 and August, 2020--fatalities in which Big Alcohol was the primary or a major contributing factor in their demise. This terrible tally includes thousands of toddlers run over by drunk drivers, millions of victims slowly tortured to death by poisoned livers and vast numbers of "all in the family" domestic abuse corpses. Even Miss Day's mom in this film staggers through Life in an alcoholic haze. Once again, things have only gotten worse in the 69 years since this second major anti-alcohol musical Public Service Announcement from the prophetic prognosticators of Warner.
