Featured review
Boardwalk Act
The Ledonne trio -- vibraphone, bass, and guitar -- sing the title song in this mediocre soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
The group looks like buskers you'd find on the boardwalk at Coney Island in the summer. The lyrics are written by Irving Mills. The music is by Jimmy McHugh; he should have stuck with Dorothy Field.
