Frances sang with the big bands. I dined at her restaurant in Florida in 1981 on the ocean, her yacht parked in front. Big band music was playing everyone was dancing, it was great fun and good food.
Sounds heavenly
Lucky you!
That sounds like a wonderful time for you and great lifestyle for her 😊💞🌻
langfords voice was incredible . I dont care what any comment says . this womans voice is as good as any singers ever was.. !!
That was a cute little movie! Loved how all the girls supported and encouraged each other.
My favorite styles: shirts. Pencil skirts and my very favorite of the era: ankle strap high heels. Timeless!
Love those shoes .Now the hair how did they do it that way .
Look who is on the street. ....you don't even want to brush your hair today ...
The styles were so chic and classy. I agree!
Yes, bring them back, at 66 I will still wear them
I agree, but that last number, what was on their privates on those shorts? Looked like, well, you know....hair!
My moms era and we would try to watch movies together. This actress came up often along with other great actresses. In today's rough world of entertainment these pictures are very refreshing
So very true!
@Bexaida Candelaria. News flash !! What's out today, with violence, filthy language, sexual content is not entertainment whatsoever!! It belongs in hell.

Very well put. I couldn't have said it any better myself!
It's absolutely vile.
Very rough indeed! It's outright disgusting, pure and simple! No need to be polite about the garbage that we're all ingesting from Whorely-wood these days!!! Frances had standards, as did the majority of actors/actresses of her era! Today, it's all about sex, FACT,, no love stories,, real love doesn't act dirty or filthy, another fact!!! And just think about how we're absuing our children, and grandchildren with the vomituous sick crap that abounds in everything!!!
That was my parent's generation. The greatest generation that lived through the great depression and defeated the Nazis
"We want the girl in Room #7!" Every time I see a Frances Langford movie I fall in love with her all over again. In an era of great female vocalists and actresses, Frances stands head and shoulders above them all. All 5 feet of her. It's a shame she never got the big MGM musical, no not a shame, a crime! This is a delightful little movie with veterans like Iris Adrian, Edward Norris, Charles Judels and Charles Williams all contributing to the fun and even Morey Amsterdam ((Dick Van Dyke Show) writing a song. Great little movie, one to see over and over again.
I could not agree more .. Langford & Adrian two of my favorites in one film ...Bliss!
Learn anatomy, these are men in drag. Baphomet worshippers love to invert reality. They get power from deception. Every "supposedly" female in this movie with lines, is a man in drag..look again. Study anatomy.
@PizzaFlix what a lovely movie. I love the hair, clothes, everything. Thank you for posting this movie for us all to enjoy.
I love Iris Adrian. Especially her voice. What a joy!!!!
I am with you, love Iris. Any movie from my farthest room in the house I recognize her voice. She is a gem ❤❤❤
Frances Langford was a very special Lady! She was a natural beauty, a ~superb~ singer, her vibrato was to die for! And, most importantly, she was a great and kind person!!! Ralph Evinrude (of Evinrude outboard fame!) was one helluva lucky man! I mean, Frances Langford ...................................... what a ~CATCH~ ~!~ Pun intended~!~
Ooooh a classic
Good to find those
My favorites
Just watching these makes me happy
I know they’re old but I still love them!!!
:D
Fun fact: lyrics for two songs, 'Some Day' and the closing 'That's How the Rumba Began', were by Morey Amsterdam, the senior gagsmith in 'The Dick Van Dyke Show'.
No credits for Miss Langford's hair styling or for the chorus's costumes in the penultimate number. Can't imagine why🤭.
is that hair all her own do you think?
THANKS FOR THE MEMORY, SO LONG AGO. WAS ON LEAVE WHEN I SAW THIS IN LONDON, DURING AN AIR RAID :):):)
Wow! I'd love to hear more.
AN AIR RAID?? THE NOISE WAS DEAFENING :):):) BUT HER VOICE SOFTENED IT AND I SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO SAY HELLO HERE, AND PRAY NOW FOR THE SOULS OF ALL MY COMRADES AND MY DARLING WIFE. ALL LONG LEFT ME. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU.
AND A "MERRY CHRISTMAS"
What year did this happen?
@cinnamongirl3121 STILL HERE BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO HERE, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS :):):)
@@TheRAFfc My hubby and I were moved to tears about your short but oh so poignant story. Gordon Welke doesn't talk about it to anyone but in the past few years he has seen Angelic beings show up and albeit extremely briefly tell him that everyone is okay, so will you and your past to other loved ones. Please believe that regardless of spirituality. It is a miracle. Your horrible experiences and losses will not nor never be for not! Happy Christmas from Toronto, Canada
Oh my, those costumes with the shorts at 1:03, very suggestive with the dark patch.
Literally Americas got talent in the 40s lol I love it
Iris Adrian, what a cheerful and lovely lady she was.
A great film. Amazing ensemble acting and solo singing.
I loved her. She was a real patriot when she was young. Sang for our military over seas.
WizzardOfPaws she was my great aunts sister in law 😊
The ‘Talent Incorporated’ was absolutely wholesome
Ms. Langford sure does come across as a genuinely sweet gal. Thanks for sharing this!!!!
I love AMC ! So Gracefully performance !
thank you for this type of entertainment, enjoyable movie.
I've been watching a lot of these older films recently (Thanks PizzaFlix), and I'm becoming an Iris Adrian fan.
llongone2: These classic movies saved my husband and my life, literally. It kept us in at night and slowly changed our heartrenching negative dispositions. Thanks for such an important statement, even if you don't know it yet.
The background scene of the night club Ms Langford is supposed to be dancing in is actually the set from a film starring Astaire and Rogers. it was called Roberta.
Thank you for this post, this movie was great! My grandmother told me a lot about Langford and ever since I've been looking up her songs and films...incredible stuff!
there's a lovely Disney cartoon, "Once Upon a Wintertime" in which Frances sings which, if you haven't heard, you'd probably enjoy.
beforeourveryeyes sorry im late but, yep I have most definitely seen it, It was from "Melody Time" I still have the VHS tape from when i was a kid! Great movie.
Great movie. I thoroughly enjoyed. Loved the cast & acting, also. Thank you for your time & effort posting it.
Acting is not very good at all, a middle or high school kid probably could have written better dialog as well.
the acting?????good?????not in this world!!!!!
Finally all the praise is for real. Tense and holds the attention every minute.
Terrific and great fashions
Wonderful voice....love her contralto tone...warm and sensual...
she comes alive when she sings. sharp contrast when she is "acting"
Her acting was wholesome and real for me. Guess it didn't work for you.
Her hair never moves!
She could house homeless badgers in that fringe!
@@elizabethblackwell6242 😂
Thank you 😊
silly movie but lovely warbler langford and wonderful iris adrian wisecracking with the best of them
I liked this movie! I especially enjoyed the role of Sue played by Jean Harlow look a like Ariel Heath.👍🌈
im sure that many men could march off to war hearing that voice in their mind..
Enjoyed this so much! Reminded me of "Stage Door" with Katharine Hepburn.
yeah. a 2 cent version of it. or maybe one cent
@@danielstanwyck2812 It certainly was so obvious,the car accident near the end instead of the suicide in "Stage Door".And how did anyone miss how the fig leaves looked from a distance in the dance number?.
The hairstyles then were amazing.
When guys worried whether your having fun or not.
Loved it x
I noted how entertaining women vs men are to watch. Watching the woman practice their dancing kept my interest. If it were a group of guys doing the same thing I'd be bored. And I'm a straight female.
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
Here here! We women are the more beautiful sex 🤗
Women so elegantly dressed... so helpful ! Every dialogue so politely spoken. New York then looks more charming & so true to it's name in olden golden movies than now ... wish time & space could retain the same charm now back to NEW YORK city! 😊
I bet the inventor of the synthesizer got their idea from listening to this pianni and the ‘whole orchestra’ sounds it gave off!!
All of life is a stage or so they say thanks good flick this is a remake seen it here it was good as well.
That piano had a whole orchastra in it for her audition to the boss man...?
LOL, noticed that too but oh well, so much makes up for it!
I thought same and at the house. Lol
i always keep a piano in my purse
Wow some of the hairstyles they had back then. Amazing
She was a wonderful star but those hair styles! I've never seen one as extreme as hers. Reminds me of My Little Pony!
That is so funny 🐎 😂
Frances is so beautiful .
Langford was perhaps best known for her radio show with Don Ameche' "The Bickersons," in which they played a married couple constantly at each other's throats.This movie, however, is "Stage Door" without the intelligence or the zingers, unfortunately.
That little brunette Thelma really did it for me. I loved those outfits.
Wonderful film!
Love love love old movies. But this one was kind of a slow story, not my favourite
I can't get over the hair do. I wonder how long it took to get the curls just right.
Have to finish this later PF but wow, what a voice, singing Someday. Beautiful melody exquisitely performed.
Am I wrong to say they don't make'm like that anymore?
Thx Merry Christmas
(PS PF ended up listening to Blue in Love Again - wow again)
I love their big, full hair in this movie.
23:15 That is not an audition song; it lacks drama, drive, a strong melody, and soothing keys.
Sooooooo good 🐸📺📺🎬📽🎥🎞🙉
Tedious movie with an empty ending.
Ann Miller would also have been great as the lead.
Oh, yeah. She's always stirred my hormones.
i have the music and theatre is very diffcult life and like professional hockey player few get the opportunity ot become known.
Hi pizza flix! Thank you. any way to add the subtitle option to the video...thus we an read the parts that are hard to her. thank you.
How in the world did Frances make those bangs?
fake bun underneath !! a lion looks better !!
"hair rat" terrible name for a very effective tool😅 but I think she had a very pretty face and one that could pull it off well🌻
Could you post little miss nobody 1936
Frances gave a cute performance in 'Broadway Melody of 1936', but Eleanor Powell and Buddy Ebsen stole the notices as discoveries. Frances had another shot in Powell's 'Born to Dance' but never got a big chance in musicals. She was too short to become a hoofer- her crazy coiffeur here is overcompensation- and her chubby face was against her; but she was always worth engaging to do singing spots, while her radio series with Don Ameche as a quarrelsome married couple confirmed her comic talent.
This B is a tired rehash of the eternal 'girls trying to break into Broadway' plot, with a cast of obscurities (except, perhaps, Idris Adrian). PRC billed Frances as 'Miss', a courtesy normally reserved for elderly legit luminaries, but it did not raise the production values even to Republic's level.
Most of Frances's energies at this time were spent on entertaining Our Boys overseas, until the strain of touring in combat zones made her overdo the sauce and she was sent home. Happily this was a blip in a survivor's long and fruitful career. She may never have become big in Hollywood but she was an idol of the Greatest Generation.
Loss inflicted on my phone career.......
What a great movie. Frances Langford is fantastic. That fringe though......she could have rented rooms up there.
Those costumes at the end @ 1:02:40 are laughable... & immodest, lol! Nice Flix, Thanks!
yeah I'm surprised they made it past the censors-- I wonder whose idea it was to attract the eye to that certain area of a woman's body... lol.
👍☺
Langford and Murdoch the dream team!
"""YES JAMES, YES JAMES """"" if you put that dialogue in water would swims :) just great. Thanks PizzaFlix for loading
Radaras Marie: Beautiful and uplifting comment, thanks and God Bless.
En español.por favor gracias
what how do get a guy to take you dancing ,all the guys i meet sit and drink beer and stair in to space .losser no dinner no dancing just beer for himself big time losser.
1:02:55 Jevus! Who's idea was that for their costumes? That frontice piece on the girls costume is terrible. They might as well be dancing naked with the entire garden showing.
Why don't you sit down and write yourself a love letter sign it broken heart. lol how funny
Not really that funny, cuz that's the column she writes for the newspaper.
It's a good movie that could have been better.
Love her hair where'd style GO cars people restaurants kids Behaved Gays stayed Hidden Where'd it goto the dogs
Haltering speech and interruptions would be better left out altogether because they rarely come off sounding natural. Something as small as timing on supposed dialog interruptions can spoil an otherwise flawless film for me, but what I don't understand is how the film directors consistently miss it.
And actors often react too quickly to dialog, sometimes even before the other guy even gets his words out, and I've never seen someone deliver a truly witty comeback in real life which didn't first register in his facial expression when the zinger occurred to him.
Something else that should be avoided altogether is an allusion to supposed blushing in dialog, at least not until they learn to digitally reproduce the effect for the viewer.
I'd vastly rather have something slightly less ambitious that's well within the acting range of the cast.
And how about the, "You look terrible", line delivered to an actor who on their worst day looks better than I've ever looked in my entire life.
Finally, there're never normal levels of clutter and crud anywhere. When actors say, "I'm sorry the place is a mess", what they mean is that there's not even a nanoparticle of dust and dirt in evidence, only that a handful of magazines and clothing items have been draped around to supposedly telegraph the effect.
+David Carlson lol
+David Carlson --Don't be boorish--it's very unbecoming, champ.
I don't think David Carlson is boorish.I think I agree.
Welcome to 40's era Hollywood.
David Carlson: Oh so well put David!
Long story long it will never happen THE END
her make up is not right, she hasn,t a the glamer look , she is more home town .
I like these movies until they sing...
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the inspiration and the encouragement!!
0:33 ❤💙

Frances Langford was always nice to look at and listen to, but this movie stinks.
Oh, those awful, ladies hairstyles. Hard to believe that they were fashionable. To equate with the bee-hives of the '60`s. And those suggestive Chorus-line costumes. How did they get past the strict Film Census. Nice voice of Frances Langford, Never heard of her before today, though.
that hair do is strange all up in the front ,strange
the costumes did suck though !
boring
Sorry..not one of the good ones pass this on by..terrible acting..
I kept dozing off waiting for some good parts...
Her songs are sung too slowly. No spark to them. Instant boredom. I wonder who is actually singing in the background. The accident lady was in full makeup while in bed hurt. How melodramatic. And who designed the dancer costunes? How suggestive!!! How did they ever pass the censer?
Listen to her with the Tommy Dorsey Band and tell me what you think...she was one of the great Singers of the Era and she went into dangerous territory to entertain the troops during WWII
Contrived dialogue. 👎👎👎
