- Alice gets a sister
And what a sister! Alice Faye and Betty Grable were made for each other as a musical comedy act, together or separately in given scenes. Alice, as the dominant sister, got most of the good single numbers, but Betty got a chance to show her stuff with "honeysuckle rose". I can't believe they were never again paired(although they were supposed to be, in "The Dolly Sisters" But, it was too late, as Alice decided to retire just then). John Payne and Jack Oakie were another great buddy pair, Oakie providing a perfect comedic balance to Payne's serious demeanor as a pair of struggling tunesmiths. Oakie does an impromptu rendition of a classic George M. Cohan war moral booster, composed about the time the story takes place, at the beginning of WWI. This duo would appear in several other Faye ... Read More

- Entertaining and predictable but superbly done
Alice Faye wryly observed in later years than many of her films had the same plot, with minor variations. This film is one of those, this time set in Tin Pan Alley and using the song publishing business as the framework. The film was planned as a follow up to "Alexander's Ragtime Band" but Tyrone Power and Don Ameche were unavailable.

John Payne and Jack Oakie play song publishers and Faye and Betty Grable play a sister act who put over their songs. Faye falls for Payne who takes her for granted and after the usual plot devices and the intervention of World War 1, a predictable conclusion is reached.

What makes "Tin Pan Alley" more enjoyable than many of the subsequent imitations is Walter Lang's dynamic direction. The pace is rapid and he expertly alternates comedy, ... Read More

- One of Faye's best performances
Saw the movie a long time ago. "America I Love You." What a great song.

- 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.
