I know! Actually, the first place I saw it was on the Fox Movie Channel, they play old movies sometimes, but I haven't seen it on there in a long time.
Definitely going to check out, 'Having Wonderful Time.' It looks adorable just from the photo. I'm going to add 'Vivacious Lady,' to that list as well, since I'm trying to see more Ginger Rogers movies.
A lot of her early movies are rather forgetable, but I've always thought that "Everybody Sing" is very charming and has a great supporting cast. Alright, so the blackface number is very tasteless by today's standards, but it's still an impressive vocal performance (and not as bad as the blackface number in "Babes on Broadway", in my opinion).
It does have an amazing supporting cast. Allan Jones, Fanny Brice, Billie Burke... Yeah, a lot of people get freaked out by blackface. Especially if they're new to old movies and they haven't seen a lot of it before.
