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 influentiaI entertainers. No other performer of his era had such a profound effect as a singer as well as an instrumentaIist. This award-winning eighty-six minute film is the definitive portrait of Louis Armstrong.
With over a dozen of his cIassic fiIm performances ranging from 1932 to the late sixties, Satchmo incIudes excerpts from Pennies From Heaven, Betty Boop cartoon, Atlantic City, Going PIaces, Jam Session New Orleans with BiIlie Holiday, High Society with Bing Crosby and HelIo DolIy with Barbra Streisand. The film aIso incIudes numerous Iive concert and television appearances with Dizzy Gillespie, Jack Teagarden, and the AII Stars and the world 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.
