Orchestra members include Calloway, The Peter Sisters, Jonah Jones, John Letrman, Lammar Wright, Paul Webster, Quentin 'Butter' Jackson, Jimmy Buxton, Keg Johnson, Hilton Jefferson, Rudy Powell, Charles Frazier, Sam 'The Man' Taylor, Al Bigson, Dave Rivera, John 'Smitty' Smith, Milt Hinton, Panama Francis, and the tap dancing trio of the Miller Brothers and Lois. In this all-black production, Cab Calloway is a band leader caught between rival gangs. The legendary Cab Calloway stars in this musical about a band leader caught between two women and under pressure to take his band to a gangster-run establishment. Josh Binney (KILLER DILLER, MERRY-GO-ROUND) directed this all-black musical drama that stars Cab Calloway as a bandleader looking for his big break. As he grows closer to his manager, Nettie (Ida James), who has arranged an audition for him at the Jive Club, Cab's girlfriend, Minnie (Jeni Le Gon), becomes dangerously jealous and enters into an alliance with rival club owner Boss Mason (George Wiltshire) and his ax man, Mo the Mouse (James Dunmore). The scat-talkin', fine-lookin' Calloway must then decide whether it is worth risking his life to avoid working for Mason at the Brass Hat. The film includes a nice montage scene and plenty of great music. Cab Calloway and His Orchestra performs some splendid numbers, including "Minnie's a Hepcat Now," "Dawn Time," "Bop Bop," "Hey Now, Hey Now," "Hi-De-Ho Man," a terrific version of "St. James Infirmary Blues," "I Got a Gal Named Nettie," and "Don't Falter at the Altar." However, the film is nearly stolen away by William Campbell as Sparks, who spends most scenes sitting in the background reading Variety and making cynical jokes.

$16.89 
The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played with a delicious verve by Reba McEntire, and Detective Dehling talking with a priest; each telling their own stories of obsession with Jewel. Tyler is ...

Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends ...
