Add Synopsis
Storyline
New York city in the 1920s: a singer struggles to keep her boyfriend from trouble. When she makes it to Ziegfeld, he heads for five years in jail. Lots of Faye and Jolson singing. The story is so close to the true story of Fanny Brice and Nicky Arnstein (Jules W. Arndt Stein) that he sued the studio in a case that was quickly settled out of court in his favor.

Trivia
The pairing of Louis Prima and Alice Faye in this film has a unique connection to Walt Disney's The Jungle Book (1967). Prima voiced King Louie, while Faye was married to Phil Harris, who voiced Baloo the bear. Together, Prima and Harris sing "I Wan'na Be Like You" in the film. See more »Quotes

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.
