Starving playwright Judith Wells meets playboy writer of musicals, George Macrae, over a plate of stolen spaghetti.

PUNQ

Rated 10 Feb 2015

When I first saw The Ritz Brothers I couldn't stand them. Several movies later and I can't get enough of them! Especially Al! You Can't Have Everything (1937) is another fun showbiz musical with various talents ranging from song to violin playing. Alice Faye is the singing play writer that falls in love with fellow show writer Don Ameche with Gypsy Rose Lee in her debut as the dame blocking their happiness. As usual a very loose plot and they fill it out with a bunch of crazy nonsense. Enjoy!
