Stormy Weather 1943
- Director: Andrew L Stone
- Based on book: no
- Cast: Lena Horne, Bill Robinson
- Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
- Lena Horne – The Wiz
- Bill Robinson a.k.a. Bojangles – clips from Shirley Temple films
- Why? A classic. The music.

Forget the story. It’s just a brainless boy meets girl, love ensues,
girl wants to pursue her career, they part, they meet again, they get married.
What she does with her career isn’t shown.
But, oh, the music! The dancing! Lena Horne! Cab Calloway, Fats Waller,
The Nicholas Brothers, Ada Brown. Glorious!
