Featured review
Showtime at the Apollo
This appears to be a compilation of clips from the 1955 TV syndicated show "Showtime at the Apollo," put together for theatrical release. One of several similar releases at this same time. Various incarnations of these clips from this 13-episode series have been in circulation for years. (The audience may have been at the Apollo, but these performances were obviously filmed on a New York City sound stage. Much as were the 1956-1957 rock and roll-themed musicals with Alan Freed, Bill Haley, etc).
