Henry Johnson Alice Faye Frank Mitchell
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. 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.
The film was thought lost until 2016, when it was rediscovered by Faye biographer W. Franklin Moshier.
The film, a Fox production, is described by Jane Elder as a "low-budget B movie".
