Sicily meets Vegas in the velvet chords and swinging style of Louis Prima. As the ultimate lounge act, Prima and his wife and cohort Keely Smith have come to typify all that was racy and wild in the late fifties and sixties. Prima's sprawling show-biz saga comes to life through interviews with Smith, Prima's longtime musical collaborator Sam Buttera, his second wife and partner Gia, other key figures in Las Vegas, and with exclusive footage of Prima in his prime. By the director of the acclaimed Charles Mingus: Triumph of the Underdog. Preceded by short: "Hepa!" (Laura Marguiles, U.S., 1998). Kinetic oil-painted animation combines with black-and-white footage to celebrate Afro-Brazilian dance from capoeira to samba. (7 mins, Video, Permission of the artist)-MMFVF
