Stormy Weather

Directed by Andrew L. Stone

Despite racial hurdles, self-taught entertainers The Fabulous Nicholas Brothers became one of the biggest musical acts of their time. Stormy Weather brilliantly showcases their dazzling, show-stopping numbers. Fred Astaire named the film’s ‘staircase’ number the greatest of all musical sequences.
