“A NEW ERA in sound and color entertainment!”

Music

A large-scale revue musical built around Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, presenting a series of musical performances, sketches, and staged tableaux in early two-color Technicolor, emblematic of Hollywood’s early sound-era “all-star” musical productions.

VIBE

A dazzling, energetic blast from the past. This film feels like a non-stop party, a vibrant showcase of early 20th-century musical talent and showmanship. It's pure, unadulterated entertainment.
