Alexander's Ragtime Band Ratings & Reviews
Apollo Guide
J. Alan Speer
Easily a tune every few minutes, all reliably executed, but the film's insistence on musical comprehensiveness leaves room only for the barest of character development.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Despite Tyrone Powers' stiff turn in the lead, Henry King's Depression-era musical is well-crafted, boasting 28 of Irving Berlin's greatest hits, some nicely performed by Alice Faye at her prime.
Variety
Variety Staff
Irving Berlin's Alexander's Ragtime Band is a grand filmusical which stirs and thrills, a medley of more than 30 pieces, selected from some 600 which Berlin has composed.
TV Guide
28 of Irving Berlin's greatest songs make this energetic, handsomely mounted production a must-see for musical fans.
The New Republic
Otis Ferguson
As a picture it isn't much, but as a tribute to a genius rising from Tin Pan Alley to cover the land with the memory of music, it can't be beat.
