Tempestade de Ritmos
Gabe Tucker
Em sua casa, Bill conta a seus sobrinhos como começou sua carreira como bailarino. Assim, retorna aos anos nos quais licenciou-se como soldado da banda de seu regimento, no final da Primeira Guerra, de seus trabalhos humildes como garçom, e seus primeiros êxitos em números musicais. Filme integramente interpretado por atores negros, rodado durante a Segunda Guerra. A leve trama serve como uma perfeita armação para integrar luxuosos números musicais, como o do bolo, o número africano com sapateados sobre os tambores com guerreiros zulus; brilha especialmente o último, que dá título ao filme. Há um magnífico sentido de humor, que interveem famosos personagens do mundo do espetáculo interpretando a si mesmos, como Cab Calloway. Foi o último filme de Bill Robinson. Números de sapateados inimagináveis. Obra-prima musical inigualável.
