Who Needs a Plausible Plot?
That's not at all what this treasure of a film is all about, especially today. Its main value, as I see it, is as a fine example of the multi-faceted mastery of show business forms achieved by Black performers of that Golden Era...I showed it to my children (ages 14, 12 and 10 at the time), and now it's one of their favorites, 'cause they were FLOORED by the joy of it all!Get this film into your library as proof that no combination of jim crow, bigotry and lack of equal opportunity could keep these giants from rising, like cream in a milk bottle, to the very top. You and your children will be glad you did; I mean, come on! Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Lena Horne, The Nicholas Brothers AND Cab Calloway in one flick?! Roll 'em, Pete!!!
