Artie Shaw and His Orchestra (1939)
Good historical short performance

It is interesting to see Artie Shaw and Helen Forrest as they were in 1938. Growing up in the 1950's it put me about a generation away from their musical start. The film is a cookie-cutter short in black and
white, but the music is good and Begin the Beguine is a classic Artie Shaw performance. A young Helen Forrest is worth hearing and seeing, unfortunately the camera work is a static front shot.
