Featured review
This was an all black cast platform to showcase the charismatic Cab Calloway. I think the best musical numbers were actually at the beginning, but it ends with a whole series of musical and tap dance numbers.
Thin on plot, this is a surprisingly violent story that even depicts violence against women. It pits two competing night clubs against one another and ends in a shoot out where a woman and the mob club owner are both shot.
"You think you'd be mine at dawn time."
"Every flower loves a few drop...Gumbo has it's New Orleans"
This is a great time piece and worth seeing for Cab Calloway alone.
