Look-Out Sister is a 1949[1][dubious – discuss] film featuring Louis Jordan.

Jordan performs numerous songs in the film.[5] The plot features Louis Jordan as a burnt out musician who heads to a sanitorium to recover and the dreams of going out west to a dude ranch.[6][7] A poster for the film advertises it as including 11 great song hits and features the tagline "when he's not singin' he's shootin, when he's not shootin" he's lovin'.[8] Louise Franklin plays a featured role in the film.[4]
The film was directed by Bud Pollard[9] and Louis Jordan.

The Jazz Society of Chicago and Chicago Film Society scheduled a showing of the film in 2019 calling it a "joyously ingratiating, loose-limbed musical that packs 11 songs into an hour.[11]
Production
[edit | edit source]The film, called Lookout while in production, was budgeted at $60,000.[12] It was named after Jordan's original song, "Look Out".[4] Louis Jordan was one of the investors for the film. Some of the "swim and western atmosphere shots" were taken in the San Fernando Valley.[12] During filming, Maceo Sheffield was injured after falling off of a horse in a scene where he was "in pursuit of an outlaw band".[13]
