Alice Faye and Phil Harris in Movieland, May 1943.
Recently I’ve been really enjoying their radio show of a few years later. Hilarious antics between Phil and Elliott Lewis, with Alice trying to keep things from getting too crazy, plus throwing in some of her great singing now and then.

Alice Faye in Hollywood magazine, Aug. 1938 — “Song Plugger Number One “
“Alice can't read a single note of music. She's never taken a music lesson in her life.
Yet Cole Porter and Irving Berlin say they'd rather have her plug their songs than any singer in the country. The late George Gershwin said the same thing, which should, and does, make it unanimous for the rest of us.”

Alice Faye in Photoplay, Dec. 1941
“A picture to remember: Alice Faye of ‘Week End In Havana,’ in the last screen-star portrait taken of her before she announced, as Mrs. Phil Harris, her retirement from films to devote a year of her life to motherhood”

May 1936: “Brunettes Preferred!” shouts the headline.
“Blondes will be passé by 1937, is Hollywood’s prediction, based on the effects of the action of Jean Harlow… in changing back to brunette.”
Some of the first to adandon the platinum look are Ann Sothern and Alice Faye.
Ann: “I always hated being a blonde.”
Alice: “You just can’t help feeling more dignified with dark hair.”

Few songs more emotionally affecting that Alice Faye singing “You’ll Never Know”

“365 Nights in Hollywood” (1934) must be the earliest Alice Faye movie I’ve seen—made by Sol Wurtzel’s “B” unit at Fox Film before the merger with 20th Century. Faye was still very much in her “Jean Harlow clone” phase.
The picture is definitely not top studio fare of the era, but Faye’s singing and screen presence push the plentiful weaknesses of the production aside.

Alice Faye, John Payne and Jack Oakie in “The Great American Broadcast” (1941), a whimsical look at the earliest days of radio broadcasting.
Verdict: I don’t see Alice Faye movies nearly often enough!
