Great Day is an unfinished 1930 American pre-Code musical film, which was to star, in alphabetical order, Johnny Mack Brown, Joan Crawford, John Miljan, Anita Page, Marjorie Rambeau and John Charles Thomas.
Great Day began as a Vincent Youmans musical purchased by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to be tailored to Joan Crawford's talents.
Production started in the fall of 1930, but after around two weeks of shooting, the film was scrapped at considerable cost to the studio — $280,000.
[2] MGM and Crawford mutually agreed to major rewrites to save the film with the plan to resume shooting with the revised script in 1931; it never happened, and Great Day was never released.
In 1934, MGM began another attempt to make the film, this time starring Jeanette MacDonald, but this was also abandoned.
