As long ago as 1941 America's Soundie Film Company began making promotional music featurettes for the newly-arrived video jukebox. Compiled from those Soundies and other promotional short films from the Forties, along with the rival Snader Telescriptions from the early Fifties, Half-Past Jump Time! is an exhilarating collection of jump and jive classics from those halcyon years. These timeless performances give us a vivid glimpse of that joyful, elegant and innocent decade before Rock n' Roll came along when Swing really was the thing... Although this disc is not the greatest of quality, the audio and picture is good thoughout for footage of this vintage. [123 minutes]
