Review of Stompin' at the Savoy

This film authentically captures the true essence of Harlem in the 1930s as it portrays 4 African American women who struggle to make Harlem their home. The realities that these 4 women faced had portrayed the true nature of how we play with the hand that life deals us. This perfectly cast drama takes you back to a time when women were beautiful, elegant and determined. The skillful choreography to Benny Goodmans Sing Sing Sing and the excellent portrayal of Ella Fitzgerald at the Savoy Ballroom (Dawn Lewis) also adds to this authentic, rich, and highly-entertaining historical drama. It is a film that you are sure to watch more than just once!
