Anything Goes is a 1936 American musical film directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Bing Crosby, Ethel Merman, Charles Ruggles and Ida Lupino.

A young man falls in love with a beautiful woman whom he follows onto a luxury liner, where he discovers that she is an English heiress who fled her home and is being returned to England.

Crosby helped to obtain four new songs from several new songwriters, Richard A. Whiting, Hoagy Carmichael, Leo Robin, Edward Heyman and Friedrich Hollander.

Crosby in the Billy Gaxton juve lead makes it more important than the latter did, because of the extra territory taken in by his singing ... As directed by Lewis Milestone everything moves along swiftly.

"[5] Writing for The Spectator in 1936, Graham Greene panned the film and criticized Crosby's slow and "moony methods" of singing in "a picture which should rattle quite as fast as a sub-machine gun."
