A bit like a 'soundie' musical short, but this is a ten minute 'one reeler' made for the cinema, dating from 1937. It features a quite decent band billed as 'Les Hite & his Orchestra' who? They don't appear to have made any records, so maybe just in the right place (Hollywood) at the right time. The singer is June Richmond who sings 'What's Music Got' - there's also 'a version of 'Dinah'. .. The slim story seem to revolve around the 'murdering' (in musical terms) of the number 'Dinah' - cue for court case where the accused - Piccolo Pete is sentenced to 'swing' - musically that is of course! The director is Arthur Dreifuss. Certainly worth viewing! .. (I make no money from these uploads!)
