Elusive, but small potatoes film. Will osborne and band are in the film, too. Good 30'S band, but long past its prime.

Question for those who have it - worth my while getting the Artie Shaw set? He is one of the bandleaders for which there's a big gap in my collection so I won't be doubling up on anything.
