SYNOPSIS:
That Night in Rio (1941)
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.
Don Ameche and Alice Faye pair up as husband and wife, Baron and Baroness Duarte and head to South America in this musical classic. In order to avoid some financial problems, the Baron switches places with impersonator Larry Martin "Direto da Broadway" (also Ameche). When Martin's affections for the Baroness are too kind and romantic, both the Baroness and Martin's girlfriend Carmen (Carmen Miranda) realize their men are up to something. Filmed in brilliant Technicolor, That Night in Rio is a delightful comedy filled with rousing musical numbers including Faye's passionate and romantic, "They Met in Rio."

Lillian Russell (1940)
It's the gay 90's and headliner Lillian Russell (Alice Faye) is unstoppable! Called, "The English Ballad Singer" her beauty, charm and unforgettable voice packed playhouses everywhere. Offstage, she was equally amazing with an extravagant lifestyle that included four husbands, a jewel-studded bicycle and a wardrobe filled with furs, jewels, gowns and diamond-decorated corsets. As Russell, Faye breathes life into this glamorous icon singing old standards such as, "After the Ball" and new songs including, "Blue Love Bird." One of Faye's best dramatic roles; she stars with actors Don Ameche, Henry Fonda and Edward Arnold.
