Satchmo the Great (1957)
essential iconography
This wonderful documentary, shown on CBS in edited form in the 1950's, was produced by Edward R. Murrow and features Satchmo's trip to West Africa, which he immediately adopted as his ancestral home because of how much he looked like the people there. The response was remarkable, with hundreds of thousands of people showing up and carrying Louis like a king on his throne.
Why this movie is currently unavailable in any format, except for occasional Public TV showings, is beyond my comprehension. It serves to remind us how important a world figure Armstrong was throughout most of the 20th Century, and how he represented the true face of American culture for the rest of the world. CBS, or whomever owns the rights to this documentary, PLEASE RELEASE IT!!!
