A scarce and seldom seen cartoon from 1937 with excellent hot jazz and containing caricatures of Cab Calloway, Ted Lewis and Bessie Smith.

Reviews
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Choccy Cat What a great Columbia cartoon! Hot jazz with a galloping "St Louis Blues" vocal at the end. This was a big surprise after suffering some pretty lame Columbia cartoons for their 1936 offerings.Can't be well known as Scrappy gets a credit. It's a Color Rhapsody with no trace of Scrappy! These Columbias brought to us by a great guy deeply involved in cartoons, in UK these things likely never seen since released, if ever shown perhaps.The band is likely Cab Calloway with his hot sound, an unknown (to me) female vocalist sings St Louis Blues, would be great to find out who, as it's not the 1930 hit version with Cab singing.
