    Introduced by the Boston Phoenix Classical Music Editor Lloyd Schwartz! SPECIAL EVENT PRICING: TWO FILMS FOR $15! Before he helmed MGM’s legendary Freed Unit, Arthur Freed was a songwriter, first notably with Nacio Herb Brown for The Broadway Melody, which introduced “You Were Meant For Me” and other hits sung decades later in Singin’ in the Rain. MGM’s first “all-talking musical”—and the first sound film to win a Best Picture Oscar—follows a vaudeville sister act (silent-film star Love and 17-year-old Page) who are beckoned by a friend (King, a Broadway leading man of the day) to New York, where they seek fame on Broadway—and find themselves entangled in a love triangle. Restored by George Eastman House in cooperation with Turner Entertainment Co.
