Gangs All Here DVD

20th Century Fox Marquee Musicals.

Her girl-next-door looks combined with a sultry singing voice made Alice Faye one of Hollywood's biggest stars in the Golden Age of Cinema.

Eadie Allen (Alice Faye) is a chorus girl who dreams of becoming a star. While working at a New York nightclub, she meets Sergeant Andy Mason (James Ellison); they fall in love but he is shipped off to war. As Eadie becomes the headliner at the nightclub, Andy comes home a war hero. But complications arise when Eadie finds out Andy is unofficially engaged to another woman. It's up to Eadie's friend and nightclub co-star Dorita (Carmen Miranda) to set things straight. The Gang's All Here is filled with leggy chorus dancers and lavish musical production numbers including Faye's flashy neon finale "The Polka Dot Polka."

"One of the greatest applications of color on celluloid...[a] dazzling wartime musical... Doug Pratt, DVDLaser.com
"This solid cast, led by the luminous Miss Faye, takes delight in the comic moments...a must-see. Marilyn Ferdinand, Ferdy on Films

MovieDiva Jr. 9 of 10
Carmen Miranda, the Brazilian Bombshell, is the Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat in The Gang's All Here. This is a movie with very little plot. The small amount of plot there is, is about putting on a show and who the main character (Alice Faye) is going to marry. The only horrible part is the main actor (James Ellison). He is so boring, he has no oomph in him, he looks like a joke next to Carmen Miranda, who is the best...The cast includes Benny Goodman and his Orchestra. Benny has got me singing his best song, "Paducah." Carmen even joins in. As for Carmen's best song, take a wild guess. You got it: "The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat." Busby Berkeley's banana scene is stupendous. Carmen plays a banana xylophone, and you'd never imagine how bananas sound...Alice Faye is also in the movie. She sings a wonderful song called "The Polka Dot Polka," surrounded by kids. This is the Busby Berkeley film where girls are dancing with neon hula hoops. Coincidentially, the movie begins and ends with disembodied heads...I love this movie, as will anyone who loves Ladies in Tutti Frutti Hats.
