I bought this on impulse - I knew nothing about Alice Faye and after viewing this collection of her at her peak (mostly wartime) I can't understand why. What else have I missed? She sings, she dances, she acts rings around most of her co-stars though the plots may be a little trite (handsome, macho hero getting all angry and sulky until you wish someone would punch out his lights until he sees sense) Alice alone is worth the price of entry. I also love the little tastes of contemporary history - ... Read More

This collection is fine but there are other Alice Faye movies I'd rather have. I'm hoping the next collection will have movies earlier in her career.

I didn't know until this set arrived that "Rose of Washington Square" had Al Jolson singing his greatest songs. I was bowled over.

It's pleasant, highly formulaic material from an earlier, ... Read More

As a few others have mentioned, the inclusion of "Four Jills in a Jeep" is totally a misfire in this collection due to Alice Faye's 5 minute appearance. Why wasn't "Tin Pan Alley" included? That film was a huge hit in 1940 - and has Betty Grable! Or how about "In Little Old New York" with Fred MacMurray? I also want to mention that 3 out of the 5 films are available on VHS. The two that have never been available are: The Great American Broadcast and Hollywood Cavalcade. I have had bad "taped from TV" videos ... Read More
