Satchmo: very few people in this country–or the world–would not recognize that name. Born at the turn of the century, Louis Armstrong was a living symbol of twentieth-century American culture. He revolutionized the world of music and became one of the nation’s most influential entertainers. Viewers of this definitive film enjoy Armstrong’s own memorabilia and photos never before seen by the public. The film, as entertaining as the man himself, is totally true to the spirit of Satchmo.
