Rare Dorothy Dandridge treasures.......2006-03-18

I took a chance ordering this one in hopes of seeing an hour of performances by Dorothy Dandridge. I didn't read the product description carefully enough because I soon learned that only half of the DVD (about 30 minutes) is performances while the other half is movie trailers and snippets. I've enjoyed watching it despite the graininess of some of the old clips.
