That was an amazing aspect of black films. They promoted success, self sufficiency, and advertised lot's of black owned businesses. Some of the black silent films even displayed cars manufactured by black car manufacturer Frederick D. Patterson who actually manufactured cars before Henry Ford. Look up a silent film titled The Scar of Shame. You can see several models of the Patterson automobile.

I liked this film, but the best is the young dancer (the body says 15-16 years old), she owns the scene. I found only her credit, as Tarzana, an obvious "nom de plume" whith reference to Tarzan, and no other informations. Maybe she is still alive today.

@leetate1963 4 года назад

Watching these movies makes me understand the origin of the tradition of our women not preferring dark skinned brothers because they had us looking like buffoons forever. My mother was born three years before this movie was made and I remember her telling me when I was 12 to stop being attracted to pretty girls because they'd only want a boy that looked like me if I was a rich ball player. This is where that thinking came from. Painful to watch

I love the costume designs in these old movies! However, try as I might, I just don't find Steppin Fetchit's character to be funny. Mumbling some unintelligible gibberish every time he's on screen. Guess I just don't get the humor. I know it was 74 years ago, but still....

@Gfab912 4 года назад

Unfortunately, the mumbling gibberish and clumsiness WAS supposed to be the humor.

@greenbyrd3665 4 года назад

Stanley Draper, Yes, definitely would not aspire to be like him. I guess he did what they would allow him to do in order to make a living in movies back then. Perhaps it would have been too much to ask for dignified, subtle, humor for black characters. Those in charge didn't think we were capable, and they didn't want to see us in that light.

@aireliousejones8322 3 года назад

She actually was, but none of her footage survives. This was pieced together from a few surviving copies. There's at least an hour of missing footage from this film which includes Mom's Mabley and several others. If you watch at the end, Step n' Fetchit is still talking when the final music starts. That's because this scene isn't the actual end of the film. Hopefully a more complete version of the film with some missing footage surfaces somewhere.
