Go Into Your Dance
This movie was filmed at the same time as Gold Diggers of 1935 and was an attempt to get Ruby and Al Jolsen in a film together. The stories about Al's famous ego were legendary, and this one was no exception. The film is set in the familiar Backstage storyline, with plenty of fast paced wisecracks and even a murder mystery thrown in. Al Jolsen was married to Ruby Keeler at the time, and his ego was famous for it grandiose proportions, even for those days!
Playing the "entertainer" Al sings some of Harry and Al's catchiest tunes like "She's a Latin From Manhatten" and "About a Quarter to Nine" and the very fun "A good old fashioned cocktail for a Good Old fashioned Girl" . The pair did well in this film, and Al's career might have been sustained if he had agreed to appear again with her - people really loved Ruby and the combination of his grand style, and her small town appeal was very refreshing. But, Al Jolsen was a consummate egoist, and this proved to much for him and later for his marriage. Later, Ruby and Al received a divorce, and Al, in denial to the end, wished her well and wondered what went wrong!
This film, remains one of the last films that famous nightclub singer Helen Morgan appeared. She sang a minor ballad, obscure today that remains her last appearance on film. Her live career in New York was much more appealing to her and she returned there to continue to perform in nightclubs.

Both Harry and Al were stretched to the limits doing this picture and the Gold Diggers at the same time - (Al Jolsen had requested their services) and Harry remembers that their contract didn't' call for them to make two pictures at the same time!

"We were looking at a work print of the picture in the projection room, and when the lights came up, Jack Warner said he was surprised to see us, since we had been laid off!"

Harry and Al had considered themselves to be part of the family at Warners, having turned out some of their greatest successes. "We were asked to have lunch with Jack Warner in the executive dining room, that was a bad sign" Warren said "Whenever the bosses call you in for lunch and telly you you're one of the family and how they appreciate your work, you can guess that they're in trouble. Acording to our contract we didn't have to work on two pictures at the same time, but neither Al nor myself could see any way of refusing!"

Harry and Al, whether they know it or not, remain one of the family at Warner Brothers studios as their tunes continue to be used in feature films, Looney tunes, and television soundtracks. The Gold Diggers soundtracks have recently been re-released on the Rhino Lable.
