Lovers of vintage musicals simply cannot afford to miss Stormy Weather, which is historically significant for featuring an all-black cast and otherwise significant for providing a great time.

The thin plot doesn't matter, as it's only an excuse to showcase the black entertainers as they superbly do their showbiz things in a string of reviews.

Description by OLDIES.com:
In this upbeat tale of music and romance, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson relives his show business career through performances by the hottest black musical stars of the period. Legendary for his "staircase tap" with Shirley Temple, Robinson's story is told by the biggest names, with the songs they made into million-sellers, and the dancers who took your breath away. It's also the love story of Bill's lifelong passion for a beautiful singer, played by Lena Horne, and how they touched each other's lives. Jam-packed with more than 20 musical numbers, Stormy Weather also features Fats Waller, Ada Brown, Cab Calloway, the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe, and the Nicholas Brothers.
Product Description:
