Andrew L. Stone
USA 1943
Dancing great Bill 'Williamson' sees his face on the cover of Theatre World magazine and reminisces: just back from World War I, he meets lovely singer Selina Rogers at a soldiers' ball and promises to come back to her when he "gets to be somebody." Years go by, and Bill and Selina's rising careers intersect only briefly, since Selina is unwilling to "settle down." Will she ever change her mind? Concludes with a big all-star show hosted by Cab Calloway.
****
Perhaps more of a hyper-paced lavish musical revue with a love story embedded but still an awesome celebration of black musical talent of the era including Robinson, Horne, Fats Waller, and Cab Calloway.

| Comments: |
Contrast may be a notch below standard for Fox with muddled grey tones, but aside from some lapses of haziness the image is quite sharp and very acceptable. Like Pinky, both a mono and stereo track are offered - I only listed to the mono but sampled the stereo leaning towards the latter with a subsequent viewing. Extras include a Todd Boyd commentary which was informative and his deep baritone voice added to the atmospheric and historical charm . Its nice to see a real effort in the packaging - cardboard slipcase, liner notes and lobby cards etc. This film and DVD have huge appeal capturing a rare time and feeling that may never surface in the same form again. |
