Stormy Weather with Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, Katherine Dunham, and the Nicholas brothers is a wonderful "dance vacation" for Vintage, Swing and Tap dancers. It was also a rather rare opportunity to see Katherine Dunham on Video. The video I watched was clear and had excellent sound. It was an uplifting and delighful "Smorgasbord" of music and dance of the highest order. I presented it to a high school group for an historical event. They were amazed and fascinated with the performances. The guys especially were impressed by the Nicholas brothers dancing.

I really enjoyed the many dance numbers. There are classic tap/soft shoe routines as well as some classic Fred Astaire doing "Fred Astaire". There are several duos as well as some solo and group numbers. The productions are entertaining and well executed. Vintage, Swing and Tap dancers should enjoy this movie a lot.
