"Lying Lips" (1939), directed by Oscar Micheaux and starring Edna Mae Harris, Carman Newsome, and Robert Earl Jones, is a poignant drama centered around nightclub singer Elsie Bellwood. Elsie staunchly refuses to "date" customers at the club, leading to her being falsely accused and framed for her aunt's murder. Despite her innocence, she is convicted and sent to prison. The film delves into themes of integrity, racial prejudice, and injustice, showcasing Micheaux's distinctive storytelling that challenges societal norms and highlights the struggles of African Americans during that era. Elsie's journey underscores the pervasive corruption and the quest for truth and redemption.
If you don't like the colourisation, don't moan about it in the comments like someone did in the last upload telling me to "stop colourising movies", negative comments are a waste of time, I will simply hide them, not that I get many, 99% are appreciative of my efforts and I appreciate every single one of them. Anyway, I have included the black and white enhanced version here 01:09:21 for those who despise colourisation.
I have enhanced the original from low resolution to FHD with facial AI enhancement to give it some more clarity. I colourised this enhanced black and white version.
This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed.
I used an RTX4090 with Ryzen9 CPU and 128GB RAM along with AVCLabs to upscale and colourise this movie.
