DANCING PIRATE (1936) – Ostensibly the story of a dancing teacher (Charles Collins of A Blueprint For Murder) who gets kidnapped by pirates (well, it could happen), this musical is memorable for its early appearance by future megastar Rita Hayworth, as one of The Dancing Cansinos (her real family).

(84 mins.)

POT O’GOLD (1941) – James Stewart (It’s a Wonderful Life) stars as a harmonica player who tries to help a swing band, which puts him at odds with his music-hating uncle (Charles Winninger of Show Boat). Lovely Paulette Goddard is Stewart’s sweetheart. (86 mins.)
