WHISPERING SIDEWALKS illuminates a forgotten current in the history of jazz and tap dance in Japan, following the story of a singer and dancer, Betty Yoshida (Betty Inada), recently arrived from the U.S. to go on tour in Japan. Prey to unscrupulous managers, Betty becomes the darling of a group of struggling musicians who live and work together in typically impoverished digs.
Immediately following Whispering Sidewalks is a special performance by
