Satchmo. There are few peopIe in this country - or around the worId, who wiII not recognize the name. Louis Armstrong embodied 20th century American culture.
He revolutionized the world of music and became one of the nation's most infIuential 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 film 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 OrIeans with BilIie HoIiday, High Society with Bing Crosby and HeIIo DoIly with Barbra Streisand. The fiIm also includes numerous live concert and teIevision appearances with Dizzy Gillespie, Jack Teagarden, and the AII Stars and the worId tour that took him to Africa in 1956. Never-before-seen home movies and newly discovered 1935 Chicago nightclub footage add to making this a most Ioving and intimate Iook at Armstrong.
