- Abstract
- Paramount's star-packed musical World War II musical extravaganza filled with songs, dances, and sketches, such as "Sharp as a Tack" (a production number with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Johnny Mercer) in which a zoot-suited Eddie Rochester Anderson sings and performs a strutting jive dance, with eccentric and legomania moves, in a duet with Katherine Dunham; the duet was choreographed by Danny Dare and Dunham, who goes uncredited on the program. A male chorus line strutting in rhythm while Anderson performs soft-shoe and eccentric steps; a tap-jive style of stepping.
