Stormy Weather
(Andrew L. Stone, 1943, 78 min)

“Stormy Weather, an all-black entertainment spectacular presided over by legendary tap-dancer Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson is the only film really to showcase his talent. Other black stars in the film include the Nicholas Brothers (who claimed they’d later toned down their act in The Pirate, so Gene Kelly could keep up—they still outshone him), Cab Calloway, Fats Waller and Lena Horne, and Katherine Dunham’s pioneering dance company.” –Peter Wollen
