Description:
This rare look at "Harlow" starlet Alice Faye before her big box office makeover shows her singing, dancing and romancing in a musical comedy filled with hope, glamour and happiness. As a carhop lured into a phony drama school by a washed- up director, Faye shines in a succession of elaborate numbers and comedy antics bound to make you smile. This film, considered lost for over six decades has never been shown on television.
Amazon.com:
Though now largely forgotten, Alice Faye was once a top box-office star. In one of her earlier films, 365 Nights in Hollywood (1934), Faye plays Alice Perkins, a young woman from Peoria, IL, who meets Jimmy Dale (James Dunn), a former top director now reduced to teaching at a shady talent school. A wealthy sucker, smitten with Alice, agrees to bankroll a movie, so long as she plays the lead; Dale agrees to direct, hoping to revive his lost career--but the con artist who runs the school plans to steal the cash and leave Dale holding the bag. The highlight of 365 Nights in Hollywood are the musical numbers from the movie within the movie, glitzy routines that occasionally verge into the surreal, like a love scene between Tarzan and Mae West! A sprightly, silly romp. --Bret Fetzer

Is the acting and script cheesy? Yes! Is the DVD film capture grainy and scratched? Yes! Do the men wear their trousers belted under their armpits? Yes! Is the plot thin, the hair bleached platinum, the eyebrows plucked to obscurity, and the sets beyond cheap? Yes! All that combines into a DVD that I really enjoyed. There's nothing more comforting on a cold winter night (or a hot summer night) than cozying up with a 70+ year old movie and a glass of Cabernet. Alice Faye (just a newbie in this film) ... Read More

365 nights in hollywood is a great movie ,however it is a pity that
the quality is not that great. It is good to see Alice Faye before
she became a household name. James Dunn was very underated and i believe
Hollywood could have done more with him

A very early film, thought to be lost, showcases Alice Faye in typical role---however she seems somewhat uneasy in this film, not her usual relaxed and in control self. The film is certainly not the quality of her later films, and the story line is a bit jerky and often comes to a stop. The DVD has passable video and sound, but this is not a film you will be wanting to see over and over!!
Best part is at end, when Alice sings----

Here is Alice Faye in her first year in Hollywood and she convincingly portrays a shy girl trying to establish herself as an actress; in fact, exactly what she was at the time. This doesn't mean that the film or Alice are very good. The script is weak, the production values mediocre and the supporting cast, including the tedious comedians Mitchell and Durant, minor so this is a B grade film all round. Alice really only comes alive in the 2 song numbers and she looks and sounds good in both.

I'm a huge fan of early thirties pre-code musicals but it almost goes without saying that there's even approaching not enough of them available on DVD.
So you'd think this would be a must-have purchase for any lover of art-deco cinema, especially considering the movie's pedigree (long thought lost, last remaining print, rare example from a studio whose back catalog is mostly long since disappeared).
Well - from a purely scholarly point of view it's fairly interesting; in that it's ... Read More
