You ...Try "Alexander's Ragtime Band". You say that Faye is over-rated while quoting praise from her biography. Actually she is under-rated. And she is relatively unknown today thanks to the fools at TCM.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878915678963591865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-84907569159046088642010-09-30T18:51:35.792-07:002010-09-30T18:51:35.792-07:00Thanks for your input!

I have certainly stirred up some controversy with this post :) As an Alice Faye fan, I wonder if you could name for me just one film that it is essential for me to watch to broaden my viewpoint of Miss Faye. Tell me her best, and I will make a concerted effort to watch it and do a follow-up review!Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133569789015149433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-54133779603153395592010-09-30T14:36:52.164-07:002010-09-30T14:36:52.164-07:00Personally, I love Alice Faye; I have seen a lot o...Personally, I love Alice Faye; I have seen a lot of her movies - Chicago and On The Avenue, for instance, are great ones. I can understand your point, since you´ve only seen Lillian Russell (I have the Alice Faye Collection, in which a dvd for it is included, and have to admit it was painfull to get through). Granted, she´s overrated, but don´t dismiss her before seeing some of her other work, which is quite amazing (her chemestry with both Tyrone Power and Dick Powell is very good)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-13982838375931700222010-09-28T16:34:30.081-07:002010-09-28T16:34:30.081-07:00Thanks for clearing that up.Thanks for clearing that up.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133569789015149433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-7366582784034985742010-09-28T16:27:14.844-07:002010-09-28T16:27:14.844-07:00To the person above, you are thinking of Jane Russ...To the person above, you are thinking of Jane Russell! <br />Personally I prefer Doris Day over Alice Fay any day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-63423441372212576492010-09-28T16:15:22.237-07:002010-09-28T16:15:22.237-07:00Thanks!

I understand that her likeness was used widely throughout the years to sell a number of products, and, seeing as how she was quite a large woman at the end, I wouldn't rule out large undergarments :)Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133569789015149433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566629179170310618.post-56458277666404019102010-09-28T15:54:01.237-07:002010-09-28T15:54:01.237-07:00Great article!
