The jaunty rhythms of Irving Berlin drive Alexander's Ragtime Band, an epic musical from 1938 that follows the up-and-down romance of a young bandleader and the singer he loves over decades. Power and Faye are a little bland, but the supporting cast--including Don Ameche, Jack Haley, and a very young Ethel Merman--give the movie some real personality, as do a few wild dance numbers. At the end, the movie becomes surprisingly suspenseful and even a little touching.
The song is written by Irving Berlin.
