REVIEW: Storm, Stooges and Swing – a start-to-finish movie-musical novelty. Putting the swing in Swing Parade of 1946 are the hep and jive of Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five and the mellow persuasions of Will Osborne and His Orchestra. Connee Boswell (whose platters included several chart-topping duets with Bing Crosby) offers a romantic forecast of Stormy Weather. And if you’re looking for waitering, plumbing, protecting or just plain horsing around at the ritzy watering hole where all this musicality takes place, The Three Stooges are at your service. Top-billed Gale Storm plays a songstress at the club run by the son (Phil Regan) of a disapproving industrialist father (Russell Hicks).
