Trivia:
The pairing of Louis Prima and Alice Faye in Rose of Washington Square (1939) has a unique connection to Walt Disneys The Jungle Book (1967) since the former played the orangutan King Louie and the latter was the wife of Phil Harris who played Baloo the bear and together they sang "I Wan'na Be Like You".

Very entertaining- a thinly disguised bio-pic of Fanny Brice. Power and Faye- at their acting peaks- are great as the leads. Faye is in great voice. However, Jolson steals the movie. At the age of 54, he was in the best voice of his career. His Rock- a Bye and California Here I Come are thrilling. I own the video, which also contains clips of several Jolson and Faye songs which were edited out of the final movie. a must for fans of the three stars.
