Customer Reviews of Tin Pan Alley
Period Classic If you enjoy Hollywood musicals of the period (1940) this one delivers the whole package. Beautiful girls, great music and a hokey love story.
It is around the time of World War 1 and a couple of struggling songwriters played by John Payne and Jack Oakie pursue success and a pair of sisters with a song and dance act, played by Betty Grable and Alice Faye. All were at or close to their best for this one.
Pop in the video, get some munchies, turn down the lights and tune out your troubles, if only for an hour and a half and enjoy.
ALICE FAYE AND BETTY GRABLE
Songwriters Jack Oakie and John Payne are broken and are about to be evicted from their lodgings; at the last minute, they convince a sister act singing duo - Katie and Lily Blane - (Alice and Betty) to introduce their new song. The gals almost lose their jobs but the song is a success. Katie then helps the boys enter the song publishing business by purchasing a tune from Elisha Cook, Jr. (as Joe Cadd) which also becomes a hit.........Highlights of TIN PAN ALLEY include the somewhat censored SHEIK OF ARABY production number, which featured a somewhat scantily clad Faye and Grable, with the rotund Billy Gilbert as the sheik. Also memorable in the movie, is the scene near the end when Jack Oakie falls into the London harbour, resulting in the composition of that perennial cornball gem K-K-K KATY. Other songs include ON MOONLIGHT BAY & HONEYSUCKLE ROSE. The picture doesn't depend on music alone to put it over; it has deep human appeal, fine comedy and romantic interludes, and tied together by a lavish production. The old times and places are recreated rather realistically. The film won an AA for best scoring (Alfred Newman). It was remade as I'LL GET BY with June Haver, Gloria DeHaven and William Lundigan by FOX in 1951.
This is a great film! Payne, Oakie and Faye Shine!!!
Set in the heart of the song publishing business is TIN PAN ALLEY, Payne and Oakie are hard luck song publishers trying to get a foothold in the business. They get Faye and equally beautiful Betty Grable to sneak one of theirs into a vaudeville show and the romance and songs keep rolling along. Specialty acts Roberts Brothers and those ever-so-sweet Brain Sisters only add to this picture. Highlight songs include a tear-jerking presentation of America, I Love You and K-K-Katy. A delight throught it's end, great supporting cast make this a film you will rewind and watch again and again.
