Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Stand By Your Man Theme
This movie starts off with lots of fun-filled music and dance. And some Prohibition era speak easy scenes. It features a very young and still handsome as ever Tyrone Powers as a good-hearted con man. With Alice Faye being the naive girl who falls for him even though Al Jolson's character warns her about him. It would be an all around great movie except that they go over board with the Stand By Your man theme. Al Jolson's trademark song about Mammy is featured in the movie several times. And ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - rose of washington square
a very good film loosely based on the life of fanny brice. al jolson stole every scene he was in.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - fine musical with superlative acting, singing and dancing
(4.5 stars)

Rose of Washington Square features great singing and dancing; and it boasts a fine cast with incredible acting. This is clearly one of the better Fox musicals; it'll keep your interest as the plot moves along at a good pace. The choreography and the cinematography work very well; and the quality of the print is actually pretty good after its restoration although there was still a moment here and there where the film could use some extra polish.

When the film ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Jolson uber alles
Fanny Brice sued (and won big money) over the clear references to her own life, and Alice Faye is not the person to do justice to the song "My Man" (see Barbra Streisand in "Funny Girl" if you want real emotion) but this is still an engrossing film with Al Jolson performing some of his signature somgs.

Faye adds little to the role of a Ziegfeld star who marries poorly, but her likeability is all that is needed. Tyrone Power is all charm and attempts to add some substance to his role ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Jolson is the Whole Show
Fox again restores to pristine quality one of its 1930s musicals and proves once more that they really don't make them like they used to - and they can't. ROSE OF WASHINGTON SQUARE is an entertaining piece of show biz hokum but it seemed something of a jinxed production - a planned two hour extravaganza that came in at 85 minutes with tell-tale plot disruptions. The bonus materials include deleted musical scenes (always a mystery to me why a musical would delete musical sequences) but for all of ... Read More
