Featured review
A fabulous example of animation
I'm afraid I've only seen this in black and white, although it was done in color. It contains some of the most fluid puppet animation ever done. The cartoon is comprised of two parts of equal length. In the first part the scene is a large nightclub. The orchestra of Ambrose is playing. Sam Browne sings Harbor Lights. People are seated at tables around a mirrored dance floor. Waiters hurry around. A couple modeled on Fred and Ginger, via the De Marcos, dance. The movement of the dancers is amazing. The mirrored image of the dancers on the floor begs belief. The second part is set in Harlem. Ambrose still provides the music but is not pictured. The music is hot. The citizens dance in the streets. An elevated train rumbles by. Again the animation is perfect. It roars to a finish.
