Product: Stormy Weather [VHS] (1980)
Rating: 4.0
Black & White never looked so good.
The 1943 Fox classic Stormy Weather introduced Lena Horne to the world and gave a wide range of delightful talent a chance to 'strut their stuff'. The all-black cast delivers an incredible number of great numbers: highlights include Cab Callaway's terrific orchestral jive, the amazing Nicholas Brothers, and of course the title song in a remarkable ballet dream sequence. The climactic Zoot Suit number blows me away every time I see it.The only lowlight is the minstrel jalopy routine, which is an an emabarrassment in this day and age.I would take this movie a desert island.
