Synopsis
Old-time musical star Schyler Jarvis, now wealthy, is dying; his last act is a visionary plan for the future happiness of his son, swing bandleader Louis Jarvis, and Honey Carter, daughter of his long-lost love. But crooked lawyer Talbot has a nefarious scheme to get his hands on the Jarvis money...and it doesn't include any happiness for Louis and Honey. Plenty of swing from Louis Jordan's Tympany Five.

Silly plot - Great music - Pretty girls - Wonderful classy cast - An hour of pure enjoyment.
★★★★ · Plot is rather thin · katpooh9 · 2009-05-02
But I think the movie was just an excuse to play the music. That's alright. The music is good. The music makes it worth watching.
