It takes nearly fifty minutes before Two Tickets to Broadway reveals it's a "let's put on a show" musical. In the meantime, it introduces a too large cast of amiable characters that sing a handful of instantly forgettable easy-listening tunes intended to slowly progress a thin as paper plot. Much of the last half of the film is watching a television special full of lavish production numbers play out. They're downright dull with the except of "Big Chief Hole-in-the-Ground," a patently offensive number that couldn't possibly have aged worse over the decades. The Best Sound nomination is unremarkable; there's some rain, tap dancing and infinite amounts of singing.
