To celebrate Louis Armstrong’s birthday I watched A Song is Born. The film is a musical version of Ball of Fire. Danny Kaye and company are recording music. He realizes that they have been working for so long on the recordings that they did not know about jazz. Danny goes out into the world to hear it and invite the artists to the mansion to record. One of those musicians is Louis Armstrong. Louis basically is himself. He has a small role and a few spoken lines but is often on camera.
Enough is enough and there will be no more.
