| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded. |

Please add more information about the cast and the crew, discussing the "behind the scenes" aspects of the production process, and giving insights into the casting and staffing where possible. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for more advice. |
Apart from Ivie Anderson, there seems to be no members of the (30's)Duke Ellington Band that appear in the musical number "All God's Children Got Rhythm". Compare to how the Ellington Band is featured (more dignified, which was the Duke's trademark) in another MGM film "Cabin in the Sky" (1943).I've read a book by trumpeter Rex Stewart (Jazz Masters of the 30's) that mentions the Ellington band being in Hollywood for "Day at the Races" which leads me to think that they just recorded the number for the film.203.171.196.81 12:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Matthew BG 10 September 2007
