The film was called "Rhapsody in Black and Blue". Louis Armstrong also performed this song the same year (1932) in a Betty Boop cartoon called "I'll be glad when you're dead". That one's all over youtube too so it's easy to find.
Answers to my own question, from the imdb.com site. It's from one of his first two films, not so long after talkies arrived: ----------------------------- 1932 I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You (short) (performer: "I'LL BE GLAD WHEN YOU'RE DEAD YOU RASCAL YOU") 1932 A Rhapsody in Black and Blue (short) (performer: "Shine", " I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You")
WOW, This would NEVER be released today! It is, most definitely. NOT, PC! I saw it in the movie "Reunion in France," where you can, actually, understand the words. Not garbled like this one. And I thought that it MUST have been written just for it. Sorry to say, I was wrong! Horrible song!
Look beyond the racist garb and concentrate on the mans musical genius.Satch put up some of the bs ,rose to the top and stayed there for 50 plus years. thanks
I love the fact that despite singing about being hateful, angry, and jealous, he's smiling ear to ear.
Based on his performances I think Louis Armstrong was enjoying life more then anyone else in the 1920's.
Great band leader great singer great trumpet player great showman all wraped in one

Such a shame that whoever the DIrector was humiliated him like this. But the performance is untouchable
What is this performance and where and when did it take place? This is unbelievable. That solo at the end is straight butter I can't even believe it.
Overt racism aside, this performance kicks ass.
The Young Louis Armstrong looks like Cuba Gooding Jr
Tracy Morgan
.Not a tune to hum at a funeral...
Depends on whose funeral it is...seems like the perfect song for the funeral of that 'rascal'. ;-)
Betty Boop
