Si bémol et fa dièse (1948)
Cloîtrés dans une vaste demeure depuis des années, sept professeurs travaillent à l'élaboration d'une anthologie de la musique. Robert Frisbee, le plus jeune d'entre eux, est chargé de la musique américaine moderne. Grâce à l'intervention impromptue de deux laveurs de carreaux noirs, il découvre de nouveaux rythmes, le jazz en particulier. Afin d'approfondir ses notions toutes récentes, Frisbee se rend dans les boîtes de nuit consacrées à cette musique si étrange. Il y fait la connaissance d'une chanteuse, Honey Swanson, ainsi que de quelques musiciens qu'il invite à venir travailler avec lui.
Directeur: Howard Hawks
