Tuotteen kuvaus

A spectacular song-and-dance revue filmed in luminous early Technicolour-rediscovered and newly restored.

Made during the early years of the movie musical, this exuberant revue was one of the most extravagant, eclectic and technically ambitious Hollywood productions of its day. Starring the bandleader PAUL WHITEMAN, then widely celebrated as the King of Jazz, the film drew from Broadway variety shows of the time to present a spectacular array of sketches, performances by such acts as the Rhythm Boys (featuring a young BING CROSBY) and orchestral numbers overseen by Whiteman himself (including a larger-than-life rendition of GEORGE GERSHWIN's Rhapsody in Blue) all lavishly staged by veteran theatre director JOHN MURRAY ANDERSON and beautifully shot in early Technicolour. Long available only in incomplete form, King of Jazz appears here newly restored to its original glory, offering a fascinating snapshot of the way mainstream American popular culture viewed itself at the dawn of the 1930s.
