"Director Dan Pritzker's playful silent comedy features beautiful women cavorting in frilly lingerie, a jazzy score overseen by Wynton Marsalis (which he'll perform with an ensemble at the film's Apollo Theater screening), and a shooting style that mimics the look of pre-talkies cinema. So why isn't Louis more fun? In 1907 New Orleans, six-year-old Louis Armstrong (Anthony Coleman) dreams of escaping poverty by becoming a musician."
Aw, a shame, if true. And I have a feeling it is true. Oh well--points for creativity.
