Louis Jordan: Reet-Petite and Gone
Old-time musical star Schyler Jarvis, now wealthy, is dying. His last act is a visionary plan for the future happiness of his son, swing bandleader Louis Jarvis, and Honey Carter, daughter of his long-lost love. But crooked lawyer Talbot has a nefarious scheme to get his hands on the Jarvis money...and it doesn't include any happiness for Louis and Honey.
A charming period piece about legacy and letting go. An aging father's last wish to see his son settled sparks an endearing, bittersweet journey through matchmaking and acceptance. Perfect for when you want warmth without heaviness.
