Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 51<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday, Lou Lumenick over at The New York Post<\/em> reported that the 1935 20th Century Pictures feature Th<\/strong>anks a Million<\/strong> is going to be released<\/a> as part of the Fox Cinema Archives burn on demand series. There’s no release date listed in the article or on Amazon, which, as far as I can tell, is a distributor for these titles.<\/a> As soon as more details are available, I’ll be sure to pass that info along.<\/p>\n

I am always happy when an Ann Dvorak movie becomes readily available, though Thanks a Million <\/strong><\/a>is far from my favorite. It was actually a pretty big hit at the time, but hasn’t really held up well, and I much prefer the noirish Dick Powell of the 1940s to the boyish crooner of this era. Ann was loaned out from Warner Bros. for this one at the request of producer Darryl F. Zanuck who had previously worked for Warner Bros. Hit or no hit, Ann thought her role in Thanks a Million<\/strong><\/a> was garbage and this film would ultimately bring Ann to engage in a full-blown war with Warner Bros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
