Available to rent on AmazonPrime; watched my megapack copy; decent print.
14 songs in the Soundtracks, all but 1 mentions Louis Jordan as performer.
Unlike most race films I've watched, scenes without music do not sound scratchy.
Characters are shown taking an airplane to NYC; trains are the usual transport in any film these days.
I can't tell if the plot is horrible.The acting is flat and the music is monotonous (almost all LJ's proto-rock songs sound the same to me), so I'm not following the story very well. Dancing is mostly wiggling, and at one point I looked at the chorus line and thought they had brought in some children. Nope, they were adults in childish-looking costumes. Because the print is good, I can see that the sets look ok; not lavish, but not so very cheap as usual.
Not super annoying, but really really dull.
