Information AboutStormy Weather |
|
The film version of ''Stormy Weather'' is a 1943 Musical Film that tells in flashback the story of a famous dancer who meets a young singer, both on the rise, whose lives intersect only briefly over the years. The song tells of disappointment, as the lyrics, "Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky" show someone pining for her man to return. The weather is a metaphor for the feelings of the singer; "stormy weather since my man and I ain't together, keeps raining all the time." It was covered by rock group Smoking Popes on their 2003 album The Party's Over. The movie was adapted by Frederick J. Jackson , Ted Koehler and H.S. Kraft from the story by Jerry Horwin and Seymour B. Robinson . It was directed by Andrew L. Stone . The title was (possibly) taken from the name of a yacht: "Stormy Weather". In 2001 , the United States Library Of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry . In 2004, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library Of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry . Cast
