Hi De Ho 1947

Cab Calloway plays himself in a plot about jealousy, night clubs, and gangsters. Ends with a series of musical numbers. All-black cast. Must see for this genre. Lots of jazz numbers highlight this story of a bandleader who is caught between his resourceful lady manager and his jealous girlfriend who’s put out a gangland hit on him. Songs include: “Minnie’s a Hepcat Now”, “Hey Now!”, “Bop Bop”, “At Dawn Time”, “Don’t Falter at the Altar” & more. Dir. Josh Binney
