  Duke Ellington became a nationwide sensation because of his radio broadcasts from Cotton Club in Harlem. Shortly thereafter, Ellington made his first film appearance in the Douglas Murphy production Black And Tan. Though not actually shot in the Cotton Club, it remains the most vivid visual document we have of the special aura and mythology surrounding that landmark club.The short subject films throughout the 1930's and 1940's. Symphony In Black is particularly interesting because the music was specially written for the film. It was one of Ellington's early suites, in this case a portrait of black America.Record Making With Duke Ellington is a fascinating explanation of how a record was recorded and duplicated in the 1930's based around an Ellington recording date. In the Hit Parade Of 1937 , we see one of Ellington's most lively and amusing shows the tuxedoed band in a playful mood, bolstered by Ivy Anderson's wonderful vocal. RKO Jamboree (Number 7) is a mini-concert of great Ellington standards.

• Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) | DVD | (11/04/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Sometimes a movie achieves such legendary status that it can't quite live up to its reputation. Plan 9 from Outer Space is not one of these movies. It is just as magnificently terrible as you've heard. Plan 9 is the story of space aliens who try to conquer the Earth through resurrection of the dead. Psychic Criswell narrates ("Future events such as these will affect you in the future!") as police rush through the cemetery, occasionally clipping the cardboard tombstones in their zeal to find the source of the mysterious goings-on. More than just a bad film, Plan 9 is something of a one-stop clearinghouse for poor cinematic techniques: the time shifts whimsically from midnight to afternoon sun, Tor Johnson flails desperately in an attempt to rise from his coffin, and flying saucers zoom past on clearly visible strings. Fading star Bela Lugosi tragically died during filming but such a small hurdle could not stop writer-producer-director Ed Wood. Lugosi is ingeniously replaced with a man who holds a cape across his face and might as well have "NOT BELA LUGOSI" stamped on his forehead. Plan 9 is so sweetly well intentioned in both its message and its execution that it's impossible not to love it. And if you don't, well, as Eros says, "You people of Earth are idiots!" --Ali Davis
