About This Movie

Charades of Broadway is a curious piece from 1990 that blends comedy with the theatrical flair you'd expect from a TV movie based on M. Orr and R. Denham's play. The pacing has this delightful ebb and flow, hitting both comedic beats and some surprisingly heartfelt moments. It's not groundbreaking, but it captures a certain charm of the era, with performances that feel genuine if a bit over-the-top at times. The atmosphere is light and playful, drawing you into its Broadway setting without overwhelming you with spectacle. Practical effects aren't really a focus, but there's a simplicity to the storytelling that feels refreshing. While it may not top everyone's list, it has a unique quality that resonates with those who appreciate straightforward comedy.

Interesting portrayal of Broadway life.Reflects the TV movie style of the early '90s.Great for collectors interested in stage adaptations.
