Starring the bandleader Paul Whiteman, then widely celebrated as the King of Jazz, the film drew from Broadway variety shows to present a spectacular array of sketches, performances by such acts as the Rhythm Boys (featuring a young Bing Crosby), and orchestral numbers--all lavishly staged by veteran theater director John Murray Anderson. Presented here in the most complete form possible and restored to its early-Technicolor glory, King of Jazz offers a fascinating shapshot of the way mainstream American culture viewed itself at the dawn of the 1930s"--Container.Rating: Not rated.Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing in English (main feature only)Bonus material lacks accessibility featuresDisc menu lacks SDH optionDVD, NTSC, region 1; 4:3 presentation; Dolby Digital 1.0 monaural.Named to the National Film Registry in 2013 by the Library of Congress.
