DVD Reviews of 365 Nights in Hollywood
DVD Review: LOST CLASSIC!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Given that this was the only surviving print of this film, I can forgive the splices and deterioration in this DVD. A very enjoyable early Fox musical. The only problem with this Image DVD is during the opening credits. As part of the Wade Williams Collection, they have superimposed a new copyright during the opening credits. This is an unforgiveable desecration of the film. New copyrights should only be shown before or after the actual film, so as not to mar them. I've never seen this done before on any of the Williams Collection features. This would have been a perfect release is not for the disrespect they showed this film.
DVD Review: Lightweight, lighthearted
Summary: 4 Stars
Is the acting and script cheesy? Yes! Is the DVD film capture grainy and scratched? Yes! Do the men wear their trousers belted under their armpits? Yes! Is the plot thin, the hair bleached platinum, the eyebrows plucked to obscurity, and the sets beyond cheap? Yes! All that combines into a DVD that I really enjoyed. There's nothing more comforting on a cold winter night (or a hot summer night) than cozying up with a 70+ year old movie and a glass of Cabernet. Alice Faye (just a newbie in this film) shows us what producers and directors saw in her: a sprite-like smile, pleasant contralto singing voice and solid acting potential. If you're looking for Academy Award worthy film-making/acting or over-the-top Busby Berkeley choreography, this film won't do it for you. It's amusing... yet, nowhere near the level of "The Gang's All Here" or any number of other Alice Faye films. That said, the "Mae West meets Tarzan" dressing room doors routine at the end of this film IS pretty bizarre. If you get a kick out of the ambiance of early '30s lighthearted comedies or comedy/musicals... golly dolly, this is swell. Why not splurge $2.99 and rent it Unbox style?DVD Review: Great Movie Poor Quality
Summary: 3 Stars
365 nights in hollywood is a great movie ,however it is a pity that
the quality is not that great. It is good to see Alice Faye before
she became a household name. James Dunn was very underated and i believe
Hollywood could have done more with him
DVD Review: VERY early Alice Faye!
Summary: 3 Stars
A very early film, thought to be lost, showcases Alice Faye in typical role---however she seems somewhat uneasy in this film, not her usual relaxed and in control self. The film is certainly not the quality of her later films, and the story line is a bit jerky and often comes to a stop. The DVD has passable video and sound, but this is not a film you will be wanting to see over and over!!
Best part is at end, when Alice sings----
DVD Review: Only for the die-hard fans
Summary: 3 Stars
Here is Alice Faye in her first year in Hollywood and she convincingly portrays a shy girl trying to establish herself as an actress; in fact, exactly what she was at the time. This doesn't mean that the film or Alice are very good. The script is weak, the production values mediocre and the supporting cast, including the tedious comedians Mitchell and Durant, minor so this is a B grade film all round. Alice really only comes alive in the 2 song numbers and she looks and sounds good in both.
This apparantly was the last remaining print of this film, thought to be lost, so the quality is not very good too. For die-hard fans, it is better than nothing.
Description of 365 Nights in Hollywood
This rare look at "Harlow" starlet Alice Faye before her big box office makeover shows her singing, dancing and romancing in a musical comedy filled with hope, glamour and happiness. As a carhop lured into a phony drama school by a washed- up director, Faye shines in a succession of elaborate numbers and comedy antics bound to make you smile. This film, considered lost for over six decades has never been shown on television.Though now largely forgotten, Alice Faye was once a top box-office star. In one of her earlier films, 365 Nights in Hollywood (1934), Faye plays Alice Perkins, a young woman from Peoria, IL, who meets Jimmy Dale (James Dunn), a former top director now reduced to teaching at a shady talent school. A wealthy sucker, smitten with Alice, agrees to bankroll a movie, so long as she plays the lead; Dale agrees to direct, hoping to revive his lost career--but the con artist who runs the school plans to steal the cash and leave Dale holding the bag. The highlight of 365 Nights in Hollywood are the musical numbers from the movie within the movie, glitzy routines that occasionally verge into the surreal, like a love scene between Tarzan and Mae West! A sprightly, silly romp. --Bret Fetzer
