Stormy Weather takes its title from the 1933 song of the same title, which is performed almost an hour into the film. It is based upon the life and times of its star, dancer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.
Robinson plays Bill Williamson, a talented born dancer who returns home in 1918 after serving in World War I and tries to pursue a career as a performer.
Along the way, he approaches a beautiful singer named Selina Rogers (Lena Horne). The character of Selina was invented for the film;
Robinson did not have such a romance in real life. Dooley Wilson co-stars as Bill's perpetually broke friend and Emmett "Babe" Wallace co-stars as her manager, Chick Bailey, vying for Lena’s hand.
