NFR Project: Cab Calloway’s home movies
1948-1951
Once again, an entry for which I have practically no data, and no footage I can find to review. Evidently the famous bandleader took both black-and-white and color home movies of his home in Long Beach, New York and of his travels around the Western hemisphere during the 1948-1951 period. These film undoubtedly shed light on the life of a Black performer in the mid-20th Century.
The NFR is one writer’s attempt to review all the films listed in the National Film Registry in chronological order. Next time: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
