Though it features a rather conventional plot, the film is noteworthy both for casting jazz legends Billie Holiday as a singing maid romantically involved with bandleader Louis Armstrong, and extensive playing of New Orleans-style Dixieland jazz: over twenty songs are featured in whole or part. ## Credits - **Director:** [Arthur Lubin](https://cinepixo.com/people/arthur-lubin) - **Screenplay:** [Elliot Paul](https://cinepixo.com/people/elliot-paul) - **Producer:** [Jules Levey](https://cinepixo.com/people/jules-levey) - **Director of Photography:** [Lucien Andriot](https://cinepixo.com/people/lucien-andriot) ## Cast - [John Alexander](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-alexander) - [Ethel Waters](https://cinepixo.com/people/ethel-waters) - [Billie Holiday](https://cinepixo.com/people/billie-holiday) - [Dorothy Patrick](https://cinepixo.com/people/dorothy-patrick) - [John Hamilton](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-hamilton) - [Marjorie Lord](https://cinepixo.com/people/marjorie-lord) - [Sammy Davis Jr.](https://cinepixo.com/people/sammy-davis-jr) - [Pat Flaherty](https://cinepixo.com/people/pat-flaherty-2) - [Shelley Winters](https://cinepixo.com/people/shelley-winters) - [Irene Rich](https://cinepixo.com/people/irene-rich) - [Brooks Benedict](https://cinepixo.com/people/brooks-benedict) - [Louis Armstrong](https://cinepixo.com/people/louis-armstrong) - [Arturo de Córdova](https://cinepixo.com/people/arturo-de-cordova) - [Jack Lambert](https://cinepixo.com/people/jack-lambert) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
