A scarce and seldom seen cartoon from 1937 with excellent hot jazz and containing caricatures of Cab Calloway, Ted Lewis and Bessie Smith.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

WasAnnon

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

What a great Columbia cartoon! Hot jazz with a galloping "St Louis Blues" vocal at the end. This was a big surprise after suffering some pretty lame Columbia cartoons for their 1936 offerings.Can't be well known as Scrappy gets a credit. It's a Color Rhapsody with no trace of Scrappy! These Columbias brought to us by a great guy deeply involved in cartoons, in UK these things likely never seen since released, if ever shown perhaps.The band is likely Cab Calloway with his hot sound, an unknown (to me) female vocalist sings St Louis Blues, would be great to find out who, as it's not the 1930 hit version with Cab singing.
