Ruth Etting was a great Broadway singer whose occasional assaults on Hollywood never quite panned out. She could deliver a song beautifully, but it seemed to end there.
Words & Music (1931)*** (out of 4) Ruth Etting has pretty much been forgotten today but those who do know her probably remember the Doris Day portrayal of her in LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME. This film features Etting playing a singer named Ruth Eton (how clever) who is growing tired of there not being any good songs out there to sing.
