There is a wonderful documentary of the late sublime jazz singer Anita O'Day playing at Cinema Village in NYC.
Lovers of jazz and the era from the 1940s-60s should check this out to hear some great music and learn about this gutsy broad.
The negative moments?:
1. a snotty, arrogant Bryant Gumbel interviewing her on the "Today" show in the 1970s
2. John Cameron Mitchell. What is this sleaze doing here?
3. James Gavin and Will Friedwald. Two arrogant queens who somehow make a living writing about jazz and other music. Their pompous comments in the film mar an otherwise enjoyable film. As my grandmother would say "no one sh*ts perfume." I think James and Will need to heed that.

Do you know what happens when you let Veal Prince Orloff sit in an oven too long?
