[Dixielandjazz] Ealing Comedies of the 1950s

Re jazz on film.

I picked up a DVD at a market of Mell Brooks called To be or not to be` 
Pretty funny in bits, including the invasion of Poland, but it starts with 
Brooks and Ann Bancroft performing Sweet Georgia Brown, IN POLISH. with a 
sort of jazzy band supporting. Well worth a listen just for its uniqueness.
Another bit which made me laugh was Brooks doing `To be... and then pausing 
for dramatic effect, whereupon the prompter supplies..or not to be. and 
Brooks stamps on his fingers.

Cheers

Pat.
