Alexander’s Ragtime Band – Roger Grant, a classical violinist, disappoints his family and teacher when he organizes a jazz band, but he and the band become successful. Roger falls in love with his singer Stella, but his reluctance to lose her leads him to thwart her efforts to become a solo star. When the World War separates them in 1917, Stella marries Roger’s best friend Charlie. Roger comes home after the war and an important concert at Carnegie Hall brings the corners of the romantic triangle together.

Test of Time
Half a century ago, when I was 10, I wanted to dance my way home after seeing this film at the old Princess Theater in Urbana, Illinois, the theater where Roger Ebert said he fell in love with movies. In August, 1999, I rediscovered the film on a rented video cassette. Two days ago I bought the video. Irving Berlin wrote so many great songs that they carry the narrative of star-crossed lovers in the years before and after World War I as well.

Tyrone Power scrumptious.
Tyrone Power gorgeous, and scrumptious, etc. Alice Faye with her wonderful, throaty voice, is always a reminder of her signature voice range. A youngish Ethel Merman was a surprise to see here, and a wonder that they kept her to the second part of the movie. Don Ameche is just gorgeous, too.
Jack Haley a fabulous dancer, and I know that the next year he performed as the Tin Woodman in "Wizard of Oz", also an ensemble picture like this one.
I really liked the constant barrage of songs written by Irving Berlin. That boy was really a prolific composer.
Power was good as an actor when his character went to World War I, later coming home with a changed demeanor and denying that his walking cane was from any war injury. He seemed to be more serious than before. In the beginning of the movie, he was a classical music performer who later lightened up and began playing the newly-popular pre-war ragtime music.
I did enjoy seeing Alice Faye and Ethel Merman singing together toward the end of the movie. This was a treat that I do not recall seeing in any other movie. Their low and higher voices actually complemented each other. That they were each interested in the same man did not seem to really matter.
In this movie, Ethel was not as recognizable as in later movies in which she would appear, full-figured, in such song-belting movies as "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "Call Me Madam". She was great in those movies, as well as this one, however.
I do enjoy seeing this movie, over and over again. I see different nuances every time.

Item received was not as described

Item received was not 'starring Helen Hayes' despite her picture being on the DVD, it was actually the version with Joan Hickson. I raised a complaint one week ago but still heard nothing in reply. Very poor customer service.

Wild in the Country

The movie was very good.

Easy access to magnificant old super-movie

Easy way to get to see an old magnificant movie with superstars. Delivered within 48 hours, downloaded in good quality few minutes with soundtrack in three languages.

Fantastic

Fantastic, thank you so much

i purchased this from you several months ago

i purchased this from you several months ago. Unfortunately I never saved it . i owned the dvd that i purchased about 20 years ago.and when my computer crashed lost it a second time. Anyone who buys a movie three times likes it. What you sold me is near DVD quality. Your competition sells it for three times what you charged because once again it's out of print. To boot when the charge three times the price the qualitty is poor. I OWN 10,000videos that took 40 years to acquire making purchases all over the world. I say this to emphasize that you are the only quality shop doing what you do so customers can have confidence when they buy from you. The only problem dealing with you is your supply is limited otherwise I would be our best customer. For the record this is a fact based story with fictionalized characters.

These copied burned movies not original It’sa shame

Download movies

I have used the Rare & Collectables for a few year and find no problem with them. I mainly go for downloads instead of buying the movie.

10/10 service

Thanks so much. Great film.
