Main Street to Broadway is a 1953 MGM musical comedy starring Tom Morton and Mary Murphy about an aspiring playwright who hopes to stage a Broadway production starring Tallulah Bankhead. The "backstage" story features a number of famous Broadway stars playing themselves, including Ethel Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore(in his last film), Gertrude Berg, Shirley Booth, Helen Hayes, Faye Emerson, Joshua Logan, Mary Martin, Lilli Palmer and John Van Druten, as well as New York baseball manager Leo Durocher. In one scene, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II supposedly create a new song, "There's Music in You", then perform it for their friends, with Rodgers at the piano and Hammerstein singing the vocals.[1]

The black-and-white film, which has a running time of 102 minutes, was directed by Gene Fowler Jr. and produced by Samson Raphaelson. Others in the cast include Agnes Moorehead, Herb Shriner, Rosemary de Camp, Rex Harrison, Joshua Logan, Arthur Shields, Madge Kennedy, Carl Benton Reid, Frank Ferguson, Robert Bray, Florence Bates, and Henry Fonda.[2]
