      Because I love jazz and appreciated the swing style that was played in this 'Melody Masters' short film, which was an extra on my DVD of 'My Reputation' from my Barbara Stanwyck TCM 4-pack, I rated it higher than I believe most filmic enthuasiasts would. Many would consider it a tad dry or boring, but I enjoyed the music, and thus this short film, quite a bit.
