Today's film clip is from the 1941 film "Ball of Fire". It features Gene Krupa and His Orchestra in their prime performing the classic "Drum Boogie". The director of this film did a fantastic job capturing the raw energy that Krupa and the band put into all of their appearances.
The beatiful Barbara Stanwyck appears onstage as the vocalist, but the truth is that Martha Tilton provided the singing voice and Barbara was just lip syncing.
"Ball of Fire" was a comedy film released in 1941 and starred Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.
Enjoy!
