'Smash Your Baggage' is a 1932 Vitaphone pre-Code short musical comedy film released by Warner Bros., as part of their Vitaphone Varieties series on October 29, 1932. Directed by Roy Mack, the film features African American performers Carrie Marrier, Mabel Scott, the Smalls Paradise Entertainers and Lew Payton who co-wrote and performed in 'The Chocolate Dandies', a Broadway revue. 'Variety', in November 1932, described it as "one of those hectic song-and dance melanges".
With a script written by A. Dorian Otvos, the film features Elmer Snowden and his Orchestra who perform the "Bugle Call Rag" and other tunes. The featured musicians (all uncredited) include Roy Eldridge (trumpet), Dicky Wells (trombone), Otto Hardwick (alto saxophone) and Sidney Catlett (drums).
