 Rating: - The best of the early sound revues1930's King of Jazz is the best of the early sound cycle of movie studio revues. Very few films shot completely in two-strip Technicolor survive - this is one of them. Warner Bros. probably made the most all-Technicolor films in the early sound era, but since most of them were Vitaphone the films have long since been lost in most cases. The 1929 and 1930 early sound revues were made by the studios primarily to showcase their talent in an all-talking setting. MGM's "Hollywood Revue of ... Read More Rating: - The Brox Sisters and the Rhythm Boys...This movie was really fun to watch, with young Bing Crosby and all the other people, and whats really cool about it is that it's in COLOR!!! Early two-strip technicolor, but color no less. I recognized some people I'd seen in other movies, like the Brox Sisters from Hollywood Revue of 1929, and Harry Barris, who I watched in a musical short on the Golddiggers of 1933 special features. I thought he looked different in this movie. But the BIGGEST suprise I'd seen in the thing was THE BROX SISTERS WITH ... Read More Rating: - EARLY TECHNICOLOR GEMPaul Whiteman was the most popular bandleader of the Roaring Twenties and his VICTOR records were best sellers; his JAPANESE SANDMAN and WHISPERING went way over the million mark in sales. Universal's entry in the all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing sweepstakes was KING OF JAZZ. The result was a garish (RHAPSODY IN TURQUOISE?) over-long mixed-bag, yet it's an undeniably entertaining item which, surprisingly, holds up much better than you'd expect. Cleverly, the film opens with Der Bingle crooning ... Read More Rating:  - Real Taste of the 1920'sThough this movie was made in 1930, it is "all 20's" Enjoy the emerging Bing Croby of the Rhythm Boys and see his two partners in the group. The video features the great Paul Whiteman, the originator of Symphonic Jazz. In 1930, there was no band leader more popular than he. Since I love 20's music, I really enjoy this video. My favorite scene is "Happy Feet." Some may appreciate, "Rhapsody in Blue," while others, "I Like to Do Things for You." This movie was one of the first made in ... Read More Rating: - Paul Whiteman Really Was the King!Whether you're a big band buff, an early talkie buff, a Bing Crosby buff, or just looking solid entertainment, THE KING OF JAZZ is a wonderful film on all counts. TKOJ is a rare look at a surviving early talkie filmed in the two-strip Technicolor process. The various reels were obviously pieced together from several sources, some sequences being in pristine condition, others being worn. MCA deserves a lot of credit for restoring this masterpiece even though some material is missing (more on that later). Read More Browse for similar items by category:
