The Swing era conjures up images of sophisticated ladies, debonair gentlemen, and the big bands who entertained them with a certain élan. This program is the first volume in a series that captures that elegant era on film, with a look at the big bands. This episode features the renowned Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, as well as crooners Rosemary Clooney and Tony Pastor, doing 18 numbers, including "Opus One" and "Frankie and Johnny."
