20th Century FoxDirected by Henry King
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, 20th Century Fox)
Best Music Score
Nominated: Best Picture
Nominated: Best Original Story
Nominated: Best Original Song
Nominated: Best Film Editing
Nominated: Best Art Direction
A fun film that is practically wall-to-wall music. There are a couple of romances thrown in for good measure, but mainly it's a history of the small ragtime band who started out in the saloons of San Francisco and ended up at Carnegie Hall. Alice Faye is the lovable singer, Tyrone Power is Alexander, Don Ameche is the romantic rival and piano player, even a young and cute Ethel Merman gets some time singing. The Movietone reel provided as a bonus on the DVD shows that this was a blockbuster back in 1938, and it is irresistible entertainment.
