@MsBedwell: The Nicholas Brothers aren't credited for this movie; I suspect the dancers are the Berry Brothers, who rivaled (as you can see !) the Nicholas Brothers at one point.

@SyberkaPL: The scene's probably from the 1936 film "Red Nichols & His World Famous Pennies." IMDB notes that "Troublesome Trumpet," a 1934 tune attributed to Michael Carr (the nom de plume of a British songwriter) was featured in that movie. A great piece of musical film history. Many, many thanks for posting it.

The gravity-defying tap dancers are so good they make it look easy. They must have given the Nicholas Brothers some competition.

Fantastic! Red Nichols is the best!!!!

@RaleighRob More research on IMDB shows that you're right ! Struggie is named as a dancer in IMDB's extended cast list for this movie ! Thanks for the catch.

@ricordateporcellino Great version by Clark Randall (Bob Crosby O) from 1935, Lamare-v

The dancers are Red and Struggie. There's another clip of them on YouTube. They're singing and dancing with Don Redman's band on the song Nagasaki.
