Article of the week from: The Silverscreen Affair Blogspot: Gangs All Here.

Emily says, "If bright colors and fruit are things you enjoy seeing in a picture, then "The Gang's All Here" is your type of film. Looking forward to Charlotte Greenwood and Alice Faye, I was, and still am, unsure weather or not I like this film. It is pretty much a stage show with a few talking scenes in between and a contest to see how many crazy outfits Carmen Miranda can wear in one film."
