Calypso Heat Wave: Review

starstarstarstar
Silliness about jukebox baron Granger muscling into a record company to profit from the calypso fad. Desmond, as the company's star recording artist, doesn't like the change of management and vanishes. The record company goes into a slide, Granger drops out, Desmond comes back, and everything ends up happily with a calypso carnival. Joel Grey is good as a dancing office boy, but the musical acts are by far the best things here. The Hi-Lo's sing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "My Sugar is So Refined"; the Tarriers (Alan Arkin among them) sing "Banana Boat Song"; the Treniers do "Day Old Bread and Canned Beans" and "Rock Joe"; and Maya Angelou, who went on to literary acclaim, sings "Run Joe." Good fun. leave a comment
