Junction 88
In Junction 88, a small all-black community, pretty Lolly Simpkins loves gentle songwriter Buster Jenkins, who makes too little money to marry. Her father favors rival suitor Onnie, crude but with a better income. Buster's best chance comes when impresario Bob Howard, to whom he's sent songs, comes to town looking for him. But Bob is looking for a pseudonym, 'Hewlett Green', that nobody's ever heard of. Will Buster reveal himself? Meanwhile, a very jazzy church concert.

Awesome Movie
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
This lightweight musical doesn't have much of a script, but some nice mugging and singing by Bob Howard and Pigmeat Markham (!). The songs are all original and as good as most mainstream musicals, but the one gospel number is strange and under-rehearsed. Its 55 minutes pass by quickly because of the pretty women (especially Marie Cooke, who sings also) and fun music. Mostly tin pan alley, but there's a blues number too!
