I was recently very fortunate to run across this Big Band short while watching TCM channel. My first reaction was that it was a nice little film featuring the Freddie Rich Orchestra, Joe Sodja - outstanding guitarist, but particularly a catchy version of the "Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond" featuring Nan Wynn with The Three Symphonettes. Luckily, having a recorder in operation, I was able to go back and again listen to Nan Wynn (which I have now done over and over). What an amazingly beautiful voice!!! Her clarity, range and effortless singing just totally mesmerized me, along with the fact that she was a beautiful young lady. What a shame that her talent wasn't more recognized and more of her work isn't available. I am now trying to catch her in some of the movies in which she appeared, usually as a nightclub singer, but I'm thankful to at least have this video.

This is a great swing jazz short featuring the Freddie Rich Orchestra. The main highlight is the lovely Nan Wynn and the Three Symphonettes singing "The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond" (WOW!! Nan Wynne makes me wonder how anybody could love today's singers — her voice is so pure, so sweet) Watching the expressions on her face while she's singing is mesmerizing. The short is capped off by amazing guitar fretwork by Joe Sodja on "Chinatown, My Chinatown." His playing is similar to Les Paul, and he's absolutely smokin'! The guitarwork is extremely fast and equally impressive. There are also nice cutaway shots of Freddie Rich's band members. This short is one I truly wish I had recorded in some format — I'd love to see it again.

This is a good musical short that I caught just in time and recorded from Turner Classic Movies. This great Big Band short is rarely seen, but when seen you'll watch it over and over. 10 mins long but its very full. Great Band, Great Female Singers. Nan Wynn is what you call a Big Band Singer, she got that sweet, clear voice, and The Three Symphonettes are one of the many great girl singers of the time. This is music wihtout the nudity and cursing, that tells what love is really all about. If you can catch this short, your lucky.

An unusually good Big Band short that gets a couple of extra points for Joe Sodja's fantastic guitar -- a solid 10 in my book.Nan Wynn is adequate as a Big Band girl vocalist, and the Three Symphonettes are what we used to call sol-LID! -- entertaining and with the precision of a block of polished steel. {There was a good deal of that around in those prehistoric days of my high school time.)A very entertaining entry in the galaxy of '30s and '40s musical shorts.
