[Dixielandjazz] Entertainers vs. Artists

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Thanks Bill - I watched it just the other day.  I bought it about a year ago 
and misplaced it and forgot I had it.  I was going through some old tapes 
and found the box still sealed.  If you disregard the story line and the 
Hollywood part it's a good movie.  I enjoyed the tunes although I thought 
that Billie Holliday's performance was somewhat lackluster.  I would have 
liked to hear some of the tunes played out and not just snips.  Oh well 
that's Show Biz.  I wasn't sure about the year.  The plot was remarkably 
like the movie "Storyville".
Thanks
Larry
