Product Description

Every Night At Eight (1935)

Director:

Raoul Walsh    

Writers:

Gene Towne (screenplay),  C. Graham Baker (screenplay) 

Stars:

George RaftAlice FayeFrances Langford
 
Alice Faye, Frances Langford, and Patsy Kelly play three humble factory workers (with a Hollywoodized wardrobe beyond the budget of any genuine factory girl) who occasionally sing together for the fun of it. They harbor dreams of becoming famous, but the prospect isn't likely until bandleader George Raft hears the girls harmonizing. He promotes the girls into top radio stars, while each of the girls entertains romantic thoughts about Raft. (And yes, he does win one of them romantically, at the end of the picture).  The likable but unimportant Every Night at Eight sparked a minor controversy in the rarefied world of 1960s film criticism. "Auteur" theorist Andrew Sarris pointed out a brief scene in which star George Raft awakens from a nightmare, cited other such scenes in the work of director Raoul Walsh, and used this "evidence" to support his theory that Walsh was a true auteur who left his "signature" on each of his films. Anti-auterist Pauline Kael spoke for many when she advised Sarris to go fly a kite.

  1. good, fun, old time musical 4 Star Review

    Posted by on Jan 29th 2023

    not the best print, but ok. A number of good tunes, two of which, became standards: "I Feel a Song Coming On", and "I'm In The Mood For Love", which forever became associated with the wonderful Frances Langford, whose film debut I believe this was. Also with Alice Faye, Patsy Kelly, and George Raft, so what's not to like?
