Rating: - Highly Enjoyable Musical
Rose of Washington Square is set in the twenties although it doesn't blatantly say so in the beginning of the film. However, the music is jazz, the law is prohibition, and the zenith of a career is being a Ziegfeld star. The film starts out with Ted (Al Jolson) and Rose (Alice Faye) who work together in vaudeville struggling to make it. On a whim, Rose leaves the group and meets Bart (Tyrone Power), a charismatic man involved in shady business. She devotes herself to him no matter what happens, and ... Read More
Rating:  - ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS MOVIE !!!!!!
Its simple..its not on DVD!!!! This was last released 10 years ago isn't it about time the DVD version came out? The studios put so much time , energy and effort in making these musicals and we arent being allowed to view them in the best possible way!!! Get With it Fox! Murdoch spend some of those billions and re-master these old films so they can be enjoyed the way they were meant to be enjoyed!!!

Stills also reveal dramatic scenes missing. Apparantly, film was shot by another director, Roy del Ruth, then reshot by Gregory Ratoff but the truth about this is ... Read More
Rating: - A PLEASANT DIVERSION.
Atmospherically, this movie will hold the interest of those who are curious for a nostalgic look at popular music. When Al Jolson sings such songs as MAMMY & CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME, the film magically comes alive. Playing the long-suffering Rose Sargent, Alice Faye is memorable singing - in her rich velvety voice - renditions of I'M JUST WILD ABOUT HARRY, THE VAMP & the title tune. Bearing the usual prefatory denial of any factual basis, the film tells the story of the loyal Ziegfeld star ... Read More
