Great find. That is a beautiful set design. My biggest complaint is that they didn't play the full 16 minute version of Gershwin's masterpiece. That's one of my favorite musical pieces from that era, and every single note is pure genius. It still got my upvote, of course. Scenes from movies like these are *obscure classics.

Adding video to channels (Obscure) - requested by kronosposeidon.

kronosposeidon (and anyone else), you might be interested in the original '27 recording of R in B that's available on archive.org (http://www.archive.org/details/rhapblue11924) with Gershwin himself on piano. It's quite different, much looser and jazzier, than this and other renditions. It was a revelation to me.

And thanks elysse for this brilliant clip.
