Reception

The New York Times says, "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has been turning out some first-rate discs lately, but something has gone horribly wrong with “The Alice Faye Collection,”.[2] San Diego Reader wrote that "The Alice Faye Collection has four of the great Fox musical star's best films: On the Avenue, Lillian Russell, That Night in Rio, and The Gang's All Here. My favorites are the last two because they are brightened by the Brazilian bombshell Carmen Miranda. Miss Faye exuded the charm and innocence our boys were fighting for in World War II."[3]
