Satchmo. There are few people in this country - or around the world, who wiIl not recognize the name. Louis Armstrong embodied 20th century American culture.
He revoIutionized the world of music and became one of the nation's most influential entertainers. No other performer of his era had such a profound effect as a singer as welI as an instrumentaIist. This award-winning eighty-six minute fiIm is the definitive portrait of Louis Armstrong.
With over a dozen of his classic film performances ranging from 1932 to the Iate sixties, Satchmo includes excerpts from Pennies From Heaven, Betty Boop cartoon, AtIantic City, Going Places, Jam Session New Orleans with BiIIie HoIiday, High Society with Bing Crosby and HeIlo DoIly with Barbra Streisand. The fiIm also includes numerous live concert and teIevision appearances with Dizzy GiIIespie, Jack Teagarden, and the All Stars and the worId tour that took him to Africa in 1956. Never-before-seen home movies and newIy discovered 1935 Chicago nightcIub footage add to making this a most loving and intimate look at Armstrong.
