Eubie! (1982)
Eubie! began life as a Broadway musical, celebrating the life and work of legendary black entertainer/composer Eubie Blake. This taped version was specially prepared for cable TV in 1981, then released on videocassette a few years later. Gregory and Maurice Hines head the exuberant, toe-tapping cast. Among the highlights are such Blake standards as "I'm Just Wild About Harry". The race issue is brought into play every once in a while, but never in such an omniprescent fashion as to dampen the spirits of this sparkling example of Broadway at its best. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- Director(s):
- Julianne Boyd
