Jazz On A Summer's Day

I'm on a video kick right now...

I love the way Jazz On A Summer's Day was filmed. It looks amazing, beautiful cinematography with a slightly avant-garde way of filming (focusing on a close-up of the patterns on the water, the sails on the ships, etc). I also love how much time they spend filming the crowd. The fashions of 1958 rock my boat--the sunglasses, need I say more?

You can watch the whole thing for free here.

I simply adore this movie and have already seen it twice.  This clip of Anita O'Day doing a version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" is my favorite.
