Alice Faye: Don Ameche
built 179 days ago
Faye and Harris continued various projects, individually and together, for the rest of their lives. Faye made a return to Broadway after forty-three years in a revival of Good News, opposite her old Fox partner John Payne (who was replaced by Gene Nelson). In later years, Faye became a spokeswoman for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, promoting the virtues of an active senior lifestyle. The Faye-Harris marriage endured until Harris's death in 1995; before that, the couple donated a large volume of their entertainment memorabilia to Harris's hometown Linton, Indiana.

Zanuck hated the idea of his staff 'moon-lighting' and decided to lend Alice to Universal as a punishment. This rather backfired when she was cast in 'In Old Chicago' (1938) Featuring Tyrone Power and Don Ameche which was her biggest hit to date.

Excellent Fox musical stars Alice Faye as a lousy playwright who finds that her serious drama only works as a musical comedy. Also starring Don Ameche and the Ritz Bros. Title song is great. Excellent quality.
