Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Black and Tan is a 1929 musical short film (18 minutes) starring Duke Ellington and His Orchestra (or as it's named in the opening credits, "Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club Orchestra").Ellington plays, uh, Duke Ellington. Things are not going well for Duke, who is struggling to find work. His piano is nearly repossessed for lack of payment. His wife Fredi, played by Fredi Washington, succeeds in getting them a gig at a nightclub where Duke and the Orchestra will play and she will dance. The only problem is, Fredi has a serious heart condition which makes dancing hazardous.Written and directed by Dudley Murphy (The Emperor Jones). | |

Changed for the Video | |
| Black and Tan / int_691669c4 | comment |
Changed for the Video: The performance of "Black and Tan Fantasy" is quite different than in any of the versions recorded and released by Ellington. Clarinetist Barney Bigard has a solo, and a gospel choir sings background, befitting the somber mood as Fredi dies. | |

As Himself: Ellington starring as a fictionalized version of himself; ditto Fredi Washington. | |

Impairment Shot | |
| Black and Tan / int_bc3b029b | comment |
Impairment Shot: Much of the performance of Ellington and the Orchestra is shot as an Impairment Shot from the POV of Fredi, who is suffering a heart attack. A kaleidoscope effect shows multiple shots spinning around as Fredi tries to stand up. | |
