Watched online, fuzzy print.
Just another Action | Adventure | Music | Mystery | Romance | Race Film. Familiar faces, but they don't act with any more depth than prior outings. Some good swing music and vocalizing, but no dancing that I noticed. (I might have missed it, because this didn't hold my attention. But the film is not in the Tap! Appendix.)
At the reading of the will, where heirs got to select items they wanted, one character said something like: "now that Prince Ellis is dead, there is nothing of his that I want, because what I wanted was his life." Was he the murderer, or just someone jealous of the deceased's lifestyle? You'll have to watch the film, because I didn't pay enough attention to find out.
