Stompin' at the Savoy

Stompin' at the Savoy (1992)

Manhattan 1939... After the Depression.... Before the War... If you had ambition and could dance, it was the only place to be.

As the Harlem Renaissance flourishes in jazzy New York City, Pauline, Esther and Alice struggle to survive. By day, they toil at dreary jobs, dreaming of stardom, riches and happiness. By night, they dance their troubles away at the famous Savoy Ballroom. But when World War II appears on the horizon, the girls find their fortunes unfolding too unevenly to reconcile, and they inevitably begin to drift apart.
