'Mr. Broadway' is a 1933 American pre-Code comedy film written by Abel Green and Ed Sullivan. The film was directed by Johnnie Walker (18941949) who was also a silent film actor and producer, and stars Sullivan along with a cast of celebrity walk-ons. It was shot in New York City.

Plot



The plot involves a newspaper reporter (Ed Sullivan, aka "Mr. Broadway") gathering material for his column. The plot was patterned on a similar film by columnist Walter Winchell, 'Broadway Through a Keyhole' (1933). The Sullivan film primarily serves as a vehicle for him to escort viewers to various trendy New York nightclubs to watch celebrities.Koszarski, Richard. 2004. 'Fort Lee: The Film Town'.
