Wiki.
The Strip is a 1951 American crime film noir starring Mickey Rooney and Sally Forrest, with William Demarest, James Craig, and Kay Brown in support. Directed by László Kardos, the picture was shot largely on location in and around the Sunset Strip, including performances at the popular nightclubs Mocambo and Ciro's and scenes at the restaurants Little Hungary and Stripps.
A large part of the film's running time consists of musical played by the "house band," which includes jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Barney Bigard, Earl "Fatha" Hines (all playing themselves), and Rooney himself on drums, as well as songs at other clubs by Vic Damone and Monica Lewis.
