Alice Faye shines as the famed stage singer in this delightful musical biography that traces Russell's fascinating life from her discovery by bandleader Tony Pastor in the late 19th century to her 1912 marriage to newspaper mogul Alexander Moore and subsequent retirement. Don Ameche and Henry Fonda also star. Songs include "Adored One," "Waltz Is King," "After the Ball," and more. (official distributor synopsis)
