Book Description

June 13, 2008
The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show was one of radio s brightest lights; a hilarious situation comedy featuring a friendly sardonic and sarcastic edge that set it apart from its contemporaries. Featuring Phil Harris, fresh off plying his comedic and musical talents on The Jack Benny Program, and his movie star wife Alice Faye. The show also starred Elliott Lewis as the remarkable Frankie Remley -- one of radio s most unforgettable characters a humorously irresponsible con-artist with an endless thirst for the good stuff. Rounding out the regulars is Walter Tetley as Julius Abruzzio, a nervy grocery boy with a Brooklynese accent who served alternately as foil or patsy for Phil and Remley s various schemes. Also starring are Gale Gordon, Robert North, Jeanine Roos, Anne Whitfield, and announcer Bill Forman.

Included in this collection is a Program Guide by radio historian Ivan G. Shreve, Jr. with photographs and background information about the shows.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Phil harris - Alice Faye Show, Beauty & Brains, July 7, 2009
This review is from: The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show: Money, Beauty & Brains (Old Time Radio) (Audio CD)
What a laugh a minute. Just what we need today. Good old fun. My husband is a truck drive and he listen to these Cd's when he was on nights and was very glad that he was. Otherwise people what of wonder why he was laughing his head off. All I can say it is worth the money to have a laugh. Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent vintage radio, October 26, 2010

This review is from: The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show: Money, Beauty & Brains (Old Time Radio) (Audio CD)
Here is a digitally remastered collection of the famous radio program of band leader/comedian Phil Harris and his charming wife, blonde film actress/ singer Alice Faye. The show was an enormous hit for almost 10 years and has an irreverance and loose quality which is endearing. For first time listeners, it will take a few episodes to establish the characters but once the format is engrained, there is a lot of fun to be enjoyed listening to Harris playing the blustery, bungling goofball and Faye in support as the voice of sanity. The supporting cast are excellent, particularly Julius as the smart mouthed grocery boy. It is also worth noting that there was always time for Faye to sing a hit of the day so you can hear her renditions of many songs written after her film career had ended. Harris was no mean singer himself, specialising in comedy songs of the south and he usually sings too.

The CDs have been beautifully packaged and there are some excellent liner notes. It is also interesting to note that the programs have been issued "under license from Alice Faye Trust". This implies that there might be more goodies preserved and issued in the future.
