Cute songs and funny dialogue
28 April 2019
The thin plot of Every Night at Eight is practically nonexistent, and it's stretched out with endless songs and musical numbers that you may or may not want to fast-forward. While "I Feel a Song Coming On" is pretty cute, you definitely won't want to miss "I'm in the Mood for Love" sung by Frances Langford several times throughout.

Alice Faye, Patsy Kelly, and Frances Langford are three friends who want to make it as singers. They enter an amateur radio contest and meet a handsome, charming bandleader, George Raft. Frances falls for George, but his aloofness and all-business attitude makes her doubt whether her love is requited. Meanwhile, George leads everyone to stardom, and Alice and Patsy enjoy their furs and penthouse apartments. There's not much to this movie, but if you like the cast, you'll want to watch it. Alice is "the singing Jean Harlow", Patsy gives hilarious wisecracks every chance she opens her mouth, and George is extremely handsome, reminding everyone that had he not turned down seven Humphrey Bogart roles including Casablanca, the end of that classic might have been different.
