Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Power stars as a member of high society who breaks w/ tradition to become the leader of a popular ragtime band. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 09/07/2004 Starring: Tyrone Power Alice Faye Run time: 106 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Henry King

Amazon.com:
The jaunty rhythms of Irving Berlin drive Alexander's Ragtime Band, an epic musical from 1938 that follows the up-and-down romance of a young bandleader (Tyrone Power, Witness for the Prosecution) and the singer he loves (Alice Faye, Tin Pan Alley) over decades. Their journey from a San Francisco honky-tonk to mass popularity is marked by classic songs like "Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning," "Blue Skies," "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody," "Easter Parade," and the title track. Power and Faye are a little bland, but the supporting cast--including Don Ameche (Midnight), Jack Haley (the Tin Woodsman from The Wizard of Oz), and a very young Ethel Merman--give the movie some real personality, as do a few wild dance numbers. At the end, the movie becomes surprisingly suspenseful and even a little touching. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Entertainment!
This was one of 20th Century Fox's biggest grossing movies for several years and it still holds up almost 70 years later. My favorite number: the rollickin "Everybody's Doing It" musical sequence with Ellen Terry in fine form, as is her partner (can't find his name). My one minor complaint: story bogs down toward end with Alice Faye fighting, fighting her love for gorgeous Tyrone Power. Couldn't understand her logic in hiding away from him. Wonderful to see a young, brassy Ethel Merman. Wish this ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The audio commentary is the best thing about it! It is superb
This is an excellent DVD. I particularly enjoyed the audio commentary by Ray Faiola, which is superb. The commentary is so full of valuable historical information and trivia. I have listened to many DVD audio commentaries, and they range in quality from very good to very bad. This audio commentary is, without a doubt, one of the best I have ever heard. Other distributors of DVD's should listen to this audio commentary as an example of how it should be done! There are other good extras on this DVD, ... Read More

Alexander's Ragtime Band

A classic Musical. I was eager to see this film after reading about the deleted scenes. While the deleted scenes are good, I did not miss them from the film at all.

Acting is good and the music great. I thought that this movie showed both Tyron Power and Alice Faye at their best. An enjoyable viewing!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - fine classic movie musical bursting with song and dance !!!
Alexander's Ragtime Band is one of the very best musicals ever produced by Fox Studios. Of course, the numerous song and dance numbers are beautifully staged; and the songs by Irving Berlin are performed flawlessly by greats Alice Faye, Don Ameche, and a young Ethel Merman. The action moves along at a good pace and the acting was extremely convincing.

The action begins in the early 1900s in San Francisco. A young man from a wealthy society family named Roger Grant (Tyrone Power) just ... Read More
