Notes:
Compared with her sound recordings, the amount of film we have of Billie Holiday is surprising small. She appeared in only four films: as a crowd extra in her first, 'Emperor Jones'; acting in 'Symphony In Black' and 'New Orleans', and as herself in the Count Basie musical short of 1950.
These, plus a handful of television programmes, make the total sum of her work available on film and video tape. Her career was over before the perfection of the video recorder as we know it today, most of the USA TV programmes which have survived were originally recorded by the kinescope method. That of February 1959, being recorded in England, was made on one inch commercial video tape, using the original British standard 405 line system.
