This film short from 1939 features the legendary Artie Shaw and his band in their prime. It was produced and released by Vitaphone as part of their Melody Master series and was later re-released in 1948 and 1955.
The song tracks included are:
Nightmare
Begin The Beguine
Let's Stop The Clock
Non-Stop Flight
Pross Tchai (Goodbye)
It's just great to see the brilliance of Artie Shaw captured on film as he leads this great band he had assembled. Tony Pastor's sax playing is featured throughout, and vocalist Helen Forrest sings the lead on "Let's Stop The Clock".
Enjoy!
