ch??. We'd Like to Go on a Trip, Sung by Billy De Wolfe and Anne Triola
Lullaby of Broadway is begun as B.Berkeley did it in Gold Diggers of '35: with an isolated head growing in size while singing. That's where the similarity ends.
This is another mother trying to hide her true self from daughter, who she's sent away to grow up in Europe. Somehow she's prosperous enough to support this upscale foreign living, but this one is working in a clip joint, which doesn't look like a lucrative income.
Warner, dir. Butler; 7+
