Meanwhile, Clare Bennett is a big <a href="/wiki/Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway</a> star. Owing to a case of mistaken identity, Shaw is offered the chance to be Clare's dancing partner in a new Broadway show, when Johnny's dancing was really what producer Bob Casey saw and wanted. The partnership breaks up, but Johnny still helps out King, who lets his newfound success go to his head. Clare eventually realizes that Johnny, not King, is the better dancer, and she falls in love after having lunch with him. When Shaw gets drunk on opening night, Johnny steps in and saves the show with a brilliant performance, though he lets King think he did it himself. Clare later tells King the truth. Just before the next show, Clare discovers King drunk again, and Johnny becomes the permanent replacement. After the show, they find out that King was pretending to be drunk so that Johnny would get the job.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-amg_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-amg-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Broadway_Melody_of_1940&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Fred_Astaire" title="Fred Astaire">Fred Astaire</a> as Johnny Brett</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Eleanor_Powell" title="Eleanor Powell">Eleanor Powell</a> as Clare Bennett</li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_Murphy" title="George Murphy">George Murphy</a> as King Shaw</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frank_Morgan" title="Frank Morgan">Frank Morgan</a> as Bob Casey</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ian_Hunter_(actor)" title="Ian Hunter (actor)">Ian Hunter</a> as Bert C.

The films were unconnected except for the use of the song "Broadway Melody" (the 1940 entry did not feature the number, although a bit of it can be heard over the film's opening credits), and the fact that Powell starred in the 1936, 1938 and 1940 entries, playing different roles in each. A fifth <i>Broadway Melody</i> film was planned for release in the early 1940s, pairing Eleanor Powell with <a href="/wiki/Gene_Kelly" title="Gene Kelly">Gene Kelly</a>, but production was cancelled at the rehearsal stage.<sup id="cite_ref-Hess_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hess-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another production was to have been called <i>Broadway Melody of 1944</i> but was instead renamed <i><a href="/wiki/Broadway_Rhythm" title="Broadway Rhythm">Broadway Rhythm</a></i>. The 1940 entry is considered Powell's last major successful film, as she would go on to appear in a succession of only moderate hits before retiring from the screen several years later. It has the distinction of being the first non-documentary film featuring Powell to be released on DVD. </p><p>Fred Astaire had just left <a href="/wiki/RKO_Radio_Pictures" class="mw-redirect" title="RKO Radio Pictures">RKO</a>, and <i>Broadway Melody of 1940</i> was his first film for MGM since his small part in 1933's <i><a href="/wiki/Dancing_Lady" title="Dancing Lady">Dancing Lady</a></i>. Astaire was reportedly slightly intimidated by Powell, as she was considered one of the few female dancers capable of out-performing Astaire. According to Powell in her introduction to the book, <i>The MGM Story</i>, the feeling was somewhat mutual. Powell recalled finally saying to Astaire, "Look, we can't go on like this. I'm Ellie; you're Fred. We're just two hoofers," after which, they got along well, and rehearsed so much they wore out their pianist.<sup id="cite_ref-tcmart_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tcmart-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><i>Broadway Melody of 1940</i> was in production from early September until late November 1939.
