(More customer reviews)A glorious b/w movie from the 1940's! Nothing ground-breaking, just another joyous trip down memory lane...a trip to a time when movies were fun, entertaining...not full of cursing, not loaded with gore and dismemberment...rather, full of smiles and good will. A wonderful film from the golden age of Hollywood!

Dixie Jamboree is a classic musical film that provides a splendid glimpse of costumes and culture in nineteen forties Mississippi. Film and golden age radio sensation Frances Langford is the star, and fortunately she sings in almost every piece. But alongside Langford is a parade of character actors that provide hilarious comic relief at every chance, between songs. The film takes place on a Mississippi riverboat where Langford is the daughter of the skipper. While performing on board, a wide variety of musical styles are employed, like cakewalk, black spiritual, and deep-south Cajun. A fantastic cast makes Dixie Jamboree an unforgettable musical.
