Though now largely forgotten, Alice Faye was once a top box-office star. In one of her earlier films, 365 Nights in Hollywood (1934), Faye plays Alice Perkins, a young woman from Peoria, IL, who meets Jimmy Dale (James Dunn), a former top director now reduced to teaching at a shady talent school. A wealthy sucker, smitten with Alice, agrees to bankroll a movie, so long as she plays the lead; Dale agrees to direct, hoping to revive his lost career--but the con artist who runs the school plans to steal the cash and leave Dale holding the bag. The highlight of 365 Nights in Hollywood are the musical numbers from the movie within the movie, glitzy routines that occasionally verge into the surreal, like a love scene between Tarzan and Mae West! A sprightly, silly romp. --Bret Fetzer
