Hollywood Barn Dance [1947] [DVD] Ernest Tubb (actor) Lori Talbott (actor)
Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime:1h12m Quality: Excellent, 4:3, b/w, (TCM logo)
Based on and built around the west coast radio program, "The Hollywood Barn Dance", although no members of the 1947 cast of the program are in the film, but the better-known (on a national scale) Ernest Tubb and His Texas Troubadors, Jack Guthrie and Jimmy and Leon Short more than make up for that. The slight plot, around 18 songs, begins with Tubb and his band searching for $2,000 needed to rebuild their town church after it burned down while they were rehearsing in it. Hollywood, here they come. ~ imdb |
