Paramount on Parade

Nancy Carroll - Paramount on Parade




A musical revue featuring Paramount stars performing acts they had never done on screen before, and possibly wouldn't again. Examples include Ruth Chatterton singing "My Marine" to U.S. Marines including Stuart Eriwn, Stanley Smith, and Frederic March in a French café setting. Buddy Rogers and Lillian Roth perform the song-duet "Any Time's the Time to Fall in Love" on a cuckoo-clock set. Clara Bow sings and dances in "True To The Navy Now" to a group of sailors.
