Please don't spend money on this.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Alberta Hunter was singing with King Oliver's band when they hired 15-year-old Louis Armstrong, she wrote Bessie Smith's first hit, she starred opposite Paul Robeson in "Showboat" in London, the first use of Dufay Colour in Britain was for a musical segment of hers.Then, despite touring the world, work died off and she became a nurse until mandatory retirement, at which point she made a comeback singing — at age 82!The woman lived, and the spark still in her makes this documentary irresistible. You don't have to like blues, or the jazz age, or music — just life.Anytime I watch this film, I feel charged and ready to take anything on. The same has been true for anyone I've shown it to.
