Broadway Musketeers is a 1938 American musical drama film directed by John Farrow for Warner Bros.
Starring Margaret Lindsay, Ann Sheridan and Marie Wilson as three women who grew up in an orphanage and cross paths later in life,[1] it is a remake of the Warners pre-code crime drama film, Three on a Match.
[2] Isabel Dowling, Fay Reynolds, and Connie Todd are three women who grew up together in an orphanage, and who meet again later in life.
Each woman's life has taken a very different path: Isabel is married with a young daughter, Connie is an office secretary, and Fay performs in nightclubs.
At the trio's next ritual birthday meeting—a celebration of Connie's impending marriage to her boss, who turns out to be love-sick rather than hypochondriacal— little Judy arrives to take her mother's place at the table.
The New York Times reviewer Frank Nugent compared the film to a nightmare in its difficulty to follow,[5] while Variety called it "a programmer of average distinction".
"[8] Decades later, Leonard Maltin gave the film two and a half out of four stars in his Movie Guide and called it "a snappy remake ... with some interesting plot variations".
