Great film strong male leads, a climatic finish, and soundtrack that embodies the whole thing. I don't think I'll be able to hear this song again without thinking of "that" film.
im gonna be honest, theres people saying that now a day we should pretty much respect the 60s and 70s, lol what about the 30s and 40s, songs like this we can learn a few things now in 2011, dont you guys agree?
@imainbase Rudy Vallee and his band did cut this song on Victor Records (#24581) in 1934 but Alice (she was just 19 at the time) did not do the vocals on it which was too bad.
It's funny, I read some of the comments about it being risque while I was listening to Alice Faye singing and I couldn't understand what people were talking about...then came the dance and the girls all turned around!
The recording was so great and I think everyone who heard it instantly fell in love with Alice Faye the singer. She was tailored made for films. She was a natural and the camera loved her very odd, angular face with parts that didn't match but somehow added up to a perfect doll. She was a dancer who felt the music and instinctively came to life with the rhythm. As a ballad singer, she was matchless.
Supposedly, this song was slated to be performed by Judy Garland and her sisters for one of the Meglin Kiddies short. Apparently someone brains figured out that it wasn't an appropriate song for a seven year old to sing!
@garyifny What is even stranger is that the Meglin Kiddies sing it later in the film. I did not include it here, for it was innocent and "cute" for it's time but taken a totally different way today. I also did not include Jimmy Durante's blackface number. Those two items are the likely reasons why this film has never had a DVD or TV revival.
Oh, you nasty man, taking your love on the easy plan Here and there and where you can, oh, you nasty man You're not fooling me, I've got you figured from A to Z But you're darned good company, oh, you big bad man You're sweet and nasty, I know what's on your mind You'll pull a fasty, make me fizzle and then you chisel Oh, you nasty man, I never met anyone who can Be as bad or better than me, you, you nasty Who taught you that Oh, you nasty, don't ever do that Oh, you nasty man
This WAS considered risque in 1934. After the Hays Code crackdown that year, this film was not re-released for showings for many years thereafter - it broke too many rules, according to the code.
OK I'll qualify what i said. In europe it wouldn't have been considered all that provocative since at the time there was a great movement away from the Victorian evangelical puritanism.
I wonder how provocative this material was considered in its time? The girls are showing a lot of leg so to speak. But thanks for posting. I love the song, and learned about Alice Faye. Thanks
I disagree. This would have been old hat to many people in big cities, but in the 30s most of the people in the USA were rural. So it would have been quite risque to most U.S. citizens. Hence the rienforced production code that came about in 1934 as a response to stuff suchas this. My Grandmother will be 93 in July and she still considers this risque.
Actually I think we are probably not far apart in that it was from America that the the influence to a more restrictive moral code for dress and behavior emanated. 1920s and 30s europe was surprisingly relaxed about that sort of thing as part of the move away from Victorian prudishness and back to the heathy outdoor country values of rural communities. The Victorian empire building evangelism was receding.
I have always liked early Alice Faye. They gave her a Jean Harlow look back then. This movie seems to be difficult to find. I saw it on a small uhf Long Island tv station many years ago, and the reception was terrible. It appeared to be a pre-code William Fox studio film.
In the 70's and 80's Alice and her husband Phil Harris returned each year to the small Indiana town near me where Phil was born and raised. He sponsored a golf tournament there. They were nice, down to earth people.
thank you ALICE is Still my American Favourite I keep all (excep 3) Movies of her..and Radio programs with Rudy Vallee,Phil Harris...and that curtain call silver screen LP..&may things SHE S STILL MY N 1 HOLLYWOOD LADY
George White's Scandals 1934. I have a copy taped off the air of a local jazz station with way better quality. Just to say it actually sounds even better.
Perfect Jazz Another GREAT clip//I interviewd Alice back in 1990 about her work with George White--also interviewd Ann Miller (who was only 15 years old when White took her to star on B'Way in the 1939 SCANDALS//TOO BAD none of the DUMB publishers want to print my book with 22 years of work and 7000 vintage photos--oh well at least my kids know who these people are// Regards, B'Way vet, Gary Flannery
Many years ago there was a tribute to Alice Faye at San Francisco's old Warfield Theatre. She sat directly behind me in the audience and when they showed this number she said to the woman sitting next to her, "Why did they always want me to look so cheap?" I couldn't resist the urge to turn around and say, "Oh, Miss Faye, I know why!" She just grinned and poked me in the back and said, "You just hush!" A moment I will never forget!
Thanks for the research. I did look at the Label on the Bluebird that I have. Sid Peltyn!! On the Movietone, Sam Robbins is listed as the Pseud. Al Mitchell was used for a variety of studio bands that RCA used for hte early Bluebirtd label. Mitchell Ayres only being one of them. This is a great musical for William Fox - too bad Zanuck/20th Century pictures got involved later in 1936. William Fox had a history of not being able to handle money very well.
I Have the buff Bluebird 5000 series 78 of this with Sam Robbins Golden (pseudonym for Mitchell Ayres I think - Too smooth for Golden!) What a great song. Does the full moview exist? If so I'd like to see how Vallee does in this movie. The Bluebird 78 was also released on the Movietone label (Fox)
Actually the Bluebird 78 is B-5374 by Al Mitchell and his Orchestra with Blanche Bow on the vocal. It is a pseudonym for Sid Peltyn and his Orchestra. Recorded Feb. 19, 1934.
Oh a video for this, wow thanks! i never caught the film... this tune get's stuck in my head all the time, a slightly smoother more swinging version (off the Alive Faye ASV label cd compilation).
This song has succeeded in being on regular rotation in my ipod for over two years also, thanks to 'staying power'.

Thank you for the lyrics. For the purist, reading from the sheet music in front of me, a couple of corrections so ya can sing it right in the shower:
Line 2 - They're in the air and who put them there?
Line 4 - Scandals! You kiss and run
To have your fun with another one
And Line 5 below - You'll pull a "fasty," Make me sizzle and then you chisel.
Risque or not, it was very popular at the time and I have run across many copies of the sheet music across the country.
