Dear Listers:

I was surfing the net, when I came across references to a made-for-TV movie
called Louis Armstrong--Chicago Style.  Ben Vereen plays the title role, and
Jerry Fogel, who was the young destroyer captain in Tora Tora Tora, plays
Jack Teagarden.  The music in the sound track appears courtesy of Benny
Carter.

The Internet Movie Data Base (IMBD, a wonderful movie resource for those of
you who are unfamiliar with it), has almost nothing on Louis
Armstrong--Chicago Style except bare bones.  There are no reviews, not even
user comments.  Has anyone seen this thing?  The VHS version is available
through Amazon.  Is it a hidden diamond, or does it languish in
well-deserved obscurity?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Regards,
Dave Stoddard
