A
musical revue
with an all-star cast that includes Cab Calloway
and his Orchestra,
Ted Lewis and his Orchestra, Louis Prima and his Band,
Gene Autry, and
Joe DiMaggio. Manhattan Merry-Go-Round has a storyline
about gangsters
taking over a radio station. Variety Magazine of the day
said, "So much
talent and novelty has been compressed within the limits
of the film that
customers dare not sneeze for fear of missing something."
Don't blink during
the quick Lindy Hop bit to Cab's music, featuring our
favorites, Whitey's
Lindy
Hoppers.
Excerpted in Cab
Calloway and his Orchestra, 1935-1947
