This is the last thing I watched on The Broadway Melody DVD. It was co-directed by one Jules White, yes, later the producer and director of The Three Stooges shorts at Columbia, and it spoofs not only the movie it's based on but also the "Mammy" sequence from The Jazz Singer (performed by "Al J. Olsen"!) and the "Singin' in the Rain" sequence from The Hollywood Revue of 1929. Oh, and there's also a blackout sketch about a father and his best friend awaiting the birth of the wife's baby that ended the way you've probably predicted if the premise I just told was any clue. Oh, and the way those dogs either dance, play instruments, or just walk on hind legs are good for some laughs. So, yes, I highly enjoyed The Dogway Melody though I did think it probably could have ended sooner after the revue segment ended...
