We're watching the coolest movie (recorded from TCM earlier): Reveille With Beverly. 1943 B-comedy (the jokes have a lot in common with Bugs Bunny cartoons of the period), but the forgettable plot is hardly the point. And what you might ask would be the point? Ella Mae Morse singing "Cow Cow Boogie"; Frank Sinatra singing "Night and Day"; Bob Crosby playing "Big Noise from Winnetka". The Mills Brothers singing "Cielito Lindo" and "Sweet Lucy Brown"; Count Basie playing "One O'Clock Jump"; Duke Ellington playing "Take the A Train". My only quibble is that they had the Ellington band playing "Take the A Train" on what looked like the Super Chief. That may be a train, but it's not the frikkin' A train. On the upside, you get to see the Mills Brothers doing some vocalese (the 40s equivalent of human beatboxing). Well worth checking out if you get the chance.
