Oustide of the awesome jazz performance (which really should have been the focus of the flick) it's a hilarious piece of shit. I had a good time watching it but it could have been more compelling.

Overly dramatic and unintentionally funny, this rare film really has nothing to offer outside of some awesome music and a charming performance from Louis Armstrong.
