don not be fool by the other reviewer . although this film contain an impressive array of talent and the material they present leave a great deal to be desire . nat king cole 3 number be pretty lame and not even close to his late effort and though he do impress with his piano playing . mom mabley be not a bit funny and though i remember her a a very entertaining talk show guest from my youth . actually and the best performance be from a couple of fat guy who impress with a lively tap dance and a four top takeoff and and the jazz band itself and especially in the number feature the bass player . the print itself be pretty poor quality and and the wonderful butterfly mcqueen be totally waste in the wraparound plot .
