365 Nights in Hollywood is a 1934 American Pre-Code musical comedy film directed by George Marshall and starring Alice Faye, James Dunn and Frank Mitchell.[1][2] It was based on a collection of short stories of the same title by columnist Jimmy Starr, published in 1926. It was produced and distributed by Fox Film.[3]
The film was thought lost until 2016, when it was rediscovered by Faye biographer W. Franklin Moshier.[4]
The film, a Fox production, is described by Jane Elder as a "low-budget B movie".[5]
