Zanuckfs newest hit surpasses his famous “Sing, Baby, Sing,” “One In A Million,” “On The Avenue,” “Wake Up And Live”, and other musical smashes. Song hits by the ace song-writing team of Alack Gordon and Harry Revel stud the story which was adapted by Harry Tugend, Jack' Y'ellen and Karl Tunberg from an original by Gregory Ratcff. Alice Faye, who was selected by Irving Berlin and Cole Porter as Hollywood’s best song-plugger, plays a singing playwright whose stark., serious, tragic masterpiece is" adapted bv the‘Ritz Brothers into a howling farce.
