1946 Directed by Leonard Anderson
Featuring the swinging sounds of the all-woman band The International Sweethearts of Rhythm and a young Ruby Dee, the 1946 musical showcases tenderness in romance and community through a series of musical numbers. The loosely connected plot follows film producers hoping to cast a stand-out actress for their next film.

This was so refreshing!
Loved to see a young Ruby Dee, who was absolutely hilarious in this role. Honored to have watched such rarity on the big screen 🫶
Also an all black woman jazz/swing band (the international sweethearts of rhythm!) was beautiful to see.
