St. Louis Blues... Just saw this movie last night and it's incredible. The plot and acting aren't great but Eartha Kitt, Pearl Bailey (who looks and sounds just like Queen Latifah) and of course Nat King Cole as W.C. Handy make it well worth a looksee for the music alone. Ruby Dee is in it too as the "good girl" foil to Eartha's wickedness!

one of eartha kitt's houses is right down the road from my parent's house (my childhood home) ... we always used to ride our bikes down the private dirt road to try and get a peek ... but no such luck! all we got to see was a limo!! *stomps foot*
