She's lovely. The camera just loves her. I think she must have had more long terms close-ups than almost anyone else. And her voice, well it certainly satisfies something in me!
This hairstyle looks weirdly modern in this clip. Her singing style and voice 'ages' better than other 1930s singers. She willingly left her movie contract in mid 40s, doing a few cameos years later. She had a 54 yr happy marriage with Phil Harris, and lived into her 80s.
@@JRobbySh EVERY studio tried to find a GARBO! Every studio tried to make a HARLOW. ... it was interesting but none worked! Better to find original talent and promote authenticity not poor wannabes.. Alice Faye only needed to be herself
Yes, you're correct. Alice Jeane Leppert, who we know and love as Alice Faye, was born on Wednesday, 5 May 1915 (same generation as my grandparents) and was the youngest of three and the only daughter.
9/12/18 - I've just finished watching this movie. it was film number 144 from the year 1934 that I've seen in my life. it's one of the weakest from this specific year. Spencer Tracy can't save this film alone, but Alice Faye's presence is a nice compensation. she is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My all-time heroine. Met her once, when I was VERY young, and thought she was a very lovely person. Talent and warmth. What a combination.

Man she was just 20 and full of confidence and oozing talent ❤️
Alice said publicly she did not like working with Spencer Tracy at all!

Wow.
I think Miss Alice Faye could do no wrong.
The complete recording is twice as long and twice as impressive. Available on a new CD that's out.
"It's a fools paradise!" ❤ A great number indeed. Pity it was trimmed down before release.
What’s it called?
Released early in 1934, right before the Production Code came in. Alice was all of 18!
Overcomes the poor quality of the sound by the sheer quality of her voice.
Fox movie channel and TCM have yet to show her earlier works.
There is something very 1932 about this song! I guess I think of the 1932 Jean Harlow movie "Red Headed Woman"! A MUST SEE INDEED!
I think they put her out as a Harlow clone. Then Ms. Girl next door!

Wasnt she fantastic! thanks
Sophie Tucker... that's who you really need to hear sing this.
You are a historian!
I think there was no need to make her look like Jean Harlow. Alice was just as beautiful as herself. And she could sing!
I think she was 19 here

I've worked out the chords to this song!
Incredible people were interested in sex in the old days too.
You should do a deep dive into "colored music" from this period. They got downright raunchy.

Fox Films initially pushed her as a threat to M~G~M's Jean Harlow.
