Errol Flynn and Fidel Castro appear in this documentary that was shown once at the Moscow Film Festival, then never shown again until its 2002 video release. Flynn and producer Victor Pahlen owned a Havana movie theater when Castro's revolution broke out. Taking to the streets with cameras, they captured footage of the upheaval as it took place, with Flynn serving as on-screen correspondent. Some of the footage was incorporated into Flynn's sad, laughable final movie, Cuban Rebel Girls, but this rare documentary went unseen until its restoration for this release

Rev. Gary Davis's tour de force in concert was his Soldiers March. This is a multipart instrumental played in the Key of F and C and is a showcase in demonstrating the genius of Rev. Davis's playing and arranging skills. Few country blues guitarists played in the Key of F but Rev. Davis explored this key with religious as well as old pop standards. Darktown Strutters Ball is a fascinating arrangement that captures the atmosphere of the 1920s. Rev. Davis used to tell his students that playing with a bottleneck was 'cheating'. Yet his Whistlin' Blues uses this technique combined with an Open D6 tuning to create an unusual boogie piano sound. Ernie Hawkins teaches each tune phrase by phrase and carefully shows you the right hand picking as well as the left hand fingerings that were unique to Rev. Davis's approach. You will be able to easily follow the instruction with the tab/music booklet. Also featured are split screen segments where each section is played slowly and you can study the movements of each hand. As a bonus we have included various audio performances of Rev. Davis playing each song. Titles include: Soldiers March (United States March) Darktown Strutters Ball and Whistlin' Blues
