Roadhouse Nights
Roadhouse Nights is a 1930 American Pre-Code gangster film.
A number of sources including Sally Cline in her book" Dashiell Hammett Man of Mystery" claim it is based on the classic novel" Red Harvest" written by Dashiell Hammett( author of" The Maltese Falcon The Thin Man", and" The Glass Key").
However the credits of the film itself say only" An Original Screenplay by Ben Hecht."
Hammett receives no mention at all( and the plots are not similar).
The movie, an unusual amalgam of musical comedy and gangster melodrama, was directed by Hobart Henley, stars Helen Morgan, Charles Ruggles, and Fred Kohler, and features a rare screen musical comedy performance by Jimmy Durante, in his screen debut, with his vaudeville partners Lou Clayton and Eddie Jackson(" Clayton, Jackson, and Durante").
Helen Morgan also sings" It Ca n't Go On Like This."

Alexander's Ragtime Band (film)
Alexander's Ragtime Band is a 1938 musical film released by 20th Century Fox that takes its name from the 1911 Irving Berlin song" Alexander's Ragtime Band" to tell a story of a society boy who scandalizes his family by pursuing a career in ragtime instead of in" serious" music.
The film generally traces the history of jazz music from the popularization of Ragtime in the early years of the 20th century to the acceptance of swing as an art form in the late 1930s using music composed by Berlin.
The story spans more than two decades from the 1911 release of its name- sake song to some point in time after the 1933 release of" Heat Wave", presumably 1938.
It stars Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Ethel Merman, Jack Haley and Jean Hersholt.
Several actual events in the history of jazz are fictionalized and adapted to the story including the tour of Europe by Original Dixieland Jass Band, the global spread of jazz by U.S. soldiers during World War I, and the 1938 Carnegie Hall performance by The Benny Goodman Orchestra.
There are no mentions of the primary importance of blacks in creating and playing jazz anywhere in the film.
The story was written by Berlin himself, with Kathryn Scola, Richard Sherman( 1905 – 1962) and Lamar Trotti.
It was directed by Henry King
It is believed by some that both the song and the movie were inspired by a real bandleader, Alexander Constantin Jr. of New Orleans( also known as" King" Watzke), and his band, Alexander's Ragtime Band, which was popular c. 1904- 11.
