Movie Reviews of Live in Tokyo '63
Movie Review: The Epitome of Cool
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite being a less than stellar transfer to DVD, Kayo's "Live in Tokyo '63" is a must-have for those of us who just can't get enough Anita O'Day. Looking glamorous, fit, and younger than her years, Miss O'Day delivers the goods on each and every song. The voice is only part of the scintillating package: hand gestures (gloved, naturally), body movement, facial expressions, good looks--all devastatingly cool. It strikes me as paradoxical that someone whose personal life was so chaotic and fraught with vice could pull herself together long enough to create a performance this flawless. Granted, she has plently of help in the form of The All-Star Orchestra and Inomata and His West Liners, both highly talented groups of jazz musicians. But not for one moment is there any doubt as to who's THE STAR here. Re-creating each song in her own lovely image, Miss O'Day manages to capture and so completely dominate the stage that one hardly cares which tunes Cole Porter wrote, and when the camera cuts away briefly to feature a soloing musician, we're just thankful that the solos are, indeed, brief. I might add that the camerawork and composition of shots throughout are phenomenal, adding even more interest and variety to the inherently intriguing entity that is Anita O'Day.
