Wissenswertes
This is the only time Billie Holiday performs in a feature film.

Patzer
In the first scene, there is a shot of Basin Street, and the year 1917. One hears "West End Blues" playing, which was not recorded until 1928.

Zitate
Henry Ferber: That note isn't even in the diatonic scale.
Louis Armstrong: Diatonic? Did I do something wrong?
Henry Ferber: Something extraordinary. You are playing notes between flat and natural. It's like discovering - a secret scale just made for this type of music.
Louis Armstrong: Horn, did you hear what the gentleman said?

Fascinating Movie

Without Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday and their musical supporting cast, this would be a forgettable melodrama. To me the most interesting aspect of this movie is the contrast of cultures - the stuffy white world symbolized by classical/operatic music (some very excellent), the blues/jazz world of the downtrodden but resilient black population and the white "early adopters" of their music. The music is tremendous. Although this movie would never win an Academy Award except for music, the cast is overall excellent given their material. Anyone who loves Armstrong or Holiday should own this. I saw this on Turner classic movies and I'm going to buy it.
