 Golden Plated Nostalgia
This is one of the pinnacles of Fox's musical productions. Gentle, warm, lively, with the beauty of Alice Faye and a wonderful cast of top line artists.Great numbers and lavish staging in vibrant Technicolour at its best.Lovingly restored visuals.

Oldie but goodie!!!
As a senior citizen who loves the old musicals, Hello, Frisco, Hello ranks among the best. Alice Faye & John Payne are a great team with wonderful voices. The plot has nothing unexpected. I remember this from the 40's & will watch the DVD often if just for the songs.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Talk about a musical!
Take Alice Faye and John Payne, Add Jackie Oakie and June Havoc together with a decent script and some really tuneful lyrics and what have you got? Only a film called "Hello Frisco Hello". Probably the finest musical to come out of 20th Centuary Fox. This film will hold its own with all the so called musical classics.

This review is for a different format. Best musical ever filmed
In my opinion this is one of the greatest movies ever made. The top actors and actresses give excellent performances and the music is simply the best. It may be that I prefer musicals but I seem to never tire of watching "Hello Frisco Hello"
