We saw this on cable about a year ago while idly zapping around. Although i was very young when they were in their prime, the music brings back rich memories.
The film is such a gem. a film done in the rough b/w 50's style about a modern musical great (listen to FoodTV's Multo Mario - that's Louis Prima music!).
New Orleans has always produced great music via a blending of cultures. Louis is certainly among the greats representing the large Italian population in NOLA. Louis Prima and Keely Smith excelled at combining swing, jazz, and comedy.
My only gripe is having seen this once, I want to see it again and again but can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help???
