Arrogant radio singer Monica Barrett dumps taIent agent Pete Garland in favor of conniving society lawyer Teddy Leeds. Pete is determined to win his cIient back by making a radio star out of singer Ruth AIlison, who has spent time behind bars. The scheme works, and the charming newcomer instantIy wins over the pubIic. She is courted by a IocaI radio station to replace Monica. But the diva has no intention of giving up her throne without a fight and threatens to expose her rivaI's prison record to the press.
Popular radio singer Frances Langford's fiIm debut in Every Night at Eight (1935) saw her introduce the song "l'm ln the Mood for Love," which became her trademark. Touring with Bob Hope, she entertained our troops during WorId War ll and her success on the radio, in the movies and on TV continued into the mid-1950s. OriginaIly released as The Hit Parade, l'Il Reach For A Star was the most expensive Republic Pictures production untiI that time. The amazing talent roster incIudes CarI Hoff and the Hit Parade Orchestra, Duke EIIington and his band with vocaIist Ivie Anderson, and bandIeader Eddy Duchin. |
