Alexander's Ragtime Band description 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.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Alexander's Ragtime Band...or is it Alec's? No, Alex's...wait, it's Roger's...right??? |
| I love this movie. I have never thought that Fox musicals were all that great (you want GOOD musicals, you go to MGM) but I love them because they usually have very enjoyable stories and acting. ALEXANDER'S RAGTIME BAND is no exception. The actors are great, the story is great, the sets are beautiful, and you just CAN'T beat that Irving Berlin music score. Tyrone Power is this guy who is starting a band, and he encounters Alice Faye in a bar by accident, because he stole her sheet music. And then she joins his band as a singer, and they eventually fall in love, despite their early arguments. Only the piano player of the band (Don Ameche) is already in love with her. Just read the summary on the back of the DVD. The extras on this DVD are great. There are deleted scenes, an A&E documentary of Alice Faye's life, the original theatrical trailer, and much, much more. I thought the picture quality was great! I didn't notice any scratches on the print, or white blobby faces or static or anything. I have yet to see a classic Fox movie with perfect picture quality, anyways. This is a really great DVD. I reccomend buying it and the movie is superb. However, if you can't stand Ethel Merman, just skip over her musical numbers, and you really won't miss much of the story. They're nice numbers, though. I think Ethel Merman's great!
And here are some other great musicals of the Golden Age that I HIGHLY reccomend!! 1.[[ASIN:6303128793 Hello Frisco Hello]] 2.[[ASIN:6301967526 Born to Dance]] 3.[[ASIN:0792844777 Kid Millions]] 4.[[ASIN:6302989701 My Lucky Star]] 5.[[ASIN:6302265754 Broadway Melody of 1936]] - My very favorite movie and a musical you're sure to love! |
