CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 53 reviews)

wonderful rhythm and blues, dancing, and music.  
This film showcases talent! Each character contributes to jazz/blues/rhythm/dancing throughout the film. The tap dancing numbers at the end are spectacular. Plot isn't great, but the music and vibrancy carry the audience to a new awareness of these actors/actresses talents. It's a must for anyone who loves musicals--or anyone in need of a smile and a sense of hope.

How could this video description omit Lena Horne?  
How on earth can this movie be listed without Lena Horne as the star!!! Her face is the most prominent on the cover you show! She is what makes the movie the classic that it has become!

A must see  
How could you not love this movie? It has Lena Horne, and Cab Calloway just to name a few amazing artists. The music numbers blend seamlessly with the story line. This is a star studded cast of anyone that was anyone back in the day. Incredible, I still love it to this day. I have seen it more times than I can count. It is neat to see all of my favorite people back when they were young. Way cool.

One of the Best Dance Scene of all Times  
I love this movie mostly for Cab Calloway and The Nicholas Brothers. The Nicholas Brothers created (what I think) is the best dance scene of all times. They make tap seem very easy, but most people do not realize the level of athleticism involved in getting those moves so fluid. Cab Calloway was always VERY entertaining with his band; you can't help but to tap your foot to the beat of his band when he performs. Overall this movie shows a great deal of history for anyone who has an interest in dance, black entertainment, or just entertainment in general. This was produced about 30 years before I was even thought of and I love that it's on DVD now so that I can teach/share with my future children this piece of history.

This movie is great!  
The movie is a classic work of performing arts, with great performances by "Bojangles", Lena Horne, and Cab Calloway. It is entertaining, funny, strokes the right emotions, and an excellent portrayal of jazz music, dancing, and acting.
