What a treat. This trailblazing all-Black musical not only immortalized the title standard, delivered onscreen by Lena Horne, it delivers a cavalcade of similarly dazzling performances. Loosely based on the life of tap-dance legend Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, who stars, the film features Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, and the Nicholas Brothers, whose all-stops-out tap epic remains one of the most astonishing dance sequences on film. -LG
