Way Down South is a 1939 American musical film directed by Leslie Goodwins and Bernard Vorhaus, and produced by Sol Lesser. It was written by Clarence Muse, who also acted in the film, and Langston Hughes. Victor Young was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Music, Scoring.
In pre-Civil War Louisiana in 1854, young Timothy Reid Jr. (Breen) is orphaned. He inherits a plantation and its well-cared-for slaves. However, lawyer Martin Dill (Maxwell) is made the executor for the minor. Dill plots to sell off the slaves and flee to Paris with the proceeds. Timothy is befriended by Jacques Bouton (Mowbray), who persuades Judge Louis Ravenal (Greig) to look into the matter and save the day.

One of the dozen or so movies my dad was an extra in. They paid 5c a day. For 10c the desk clerk would let you sleep in the lobby of a hotel, as long as you held a newspaper so guests wouldn't suspect you were spending the night. So many stories and memories. He chauffeured for Joan Crawford when he wasn't on set.

Wow it’s like as soon as movies became a thing they started trying to condition the minds of the viewers right away. The “happy” slaves, the black man in a dress... just wow. As a former film student I’m viewing this in a totally different light. One reason why I wanted to work in TELEvision. It’s literally in the spelling of the word. It’s a controlled variable. This is crazy. Thankful for the ones who pioneered the way by making these movies. Humiliating or not. I take pride in them doing what they HAD to do until WE could do what we WANT to do🙏🏽

I was greatly intrigued by this film as well as thoroughly entertained. In particular as its co-creator was Langston Hughes. Suffice to say that the understanding of history necessarily requires its paradoxes, contradictions and inconsistencies be understood and embraced as Hughes certainly did. Also ,I thought Bobby Breen's rendition of "Motherless Child" was the most soulful I have ever heard. Thanks once again, Reelblack for this offering.

One of the early musical numbers has Cab Calloway all over it. I like the way they incorporated music and dance styles from the era in which the film was made. Reminds me of how Netflix' Bridgerton, a 19th Century period piece, uses hiphop music. I can appreciate the fact that this story was written by a black man, performed by black talent during a time when using white actors w/makeup and bad wigs was accepted. I know this film ruffles a lot of feathers, but the idea was to sell tickets while showcasing black talent putting as many butts in the seats as possible in 1939! There have been several recent films depicting the sadistic brutality of slavery and they're hard to watch a 2nd time. This film must have been a really big deal in Harlem and other black communities that had access to it.

I love a lot of the Southern movies that depicts families sticking together, working hard, and having discipline on the children. Morals and values. Not all family’s did but Most southern black folks did. The parts I take from the different things in these films is the being about values and father hood and being taught manners Etc. Like Cicely Tyson God Bless her soul, she played those types of films that was shot in the Jim Crow South, she played a strong mother grandmother in those roles and showed that we do have character, we are somebody regardless of what they say or what the era or circumstance. May be. She bought Down home love to her roles in sounder Jane pitman Etc. Ester Role, Bea Richards, Ruby Dee, Irma P Hall all them bought light to their characters. Though it’s hard times, but they showed how to still keep on keeping on.

My family from old Virginia, down in the hill country and I think my grandmother’s great was a slave in Va. my grandmother was born in 1920, her mother 1892, Etc, The South was cruel back then. Virginia to Texas. So these films shows just what our Southern ancestors went through. I don’t get up set watching these classics because I know we will never ever go back to those days. I wish today’s generation would learn something about their people & ancestors and learn about All the Great Black people. One thing about back then the parents were strick on their kids.

This is a really, disgusting, misinterpretation of "The Galant South",, depicting the slaves as "happy, subservient creatures, all under the care of their great white mater(s)." Thank God for the African-American film makers, Oscar Micheaux and Spencer Williams; both who had a rather accurate depiction of African-Americans, producing countless movies throughout the 1920, '30s and '40s. Nevertheless, disgusting as this movie may be, I still deem it as a valuable tool of history, provided that the content is understood for what it actually is. Not for the falsehood that it propagates. Thank you the posting this!

Get over it.

@@coobay4786 I have a better idea. You get over it. Get over the fact that this system of racism will be called out, if not by me, by a plethora of others. So, instead of taking refuge into your lame gaslighting methods, get over your fear and guilt and just face the music for what it is. Meanwhile, I will continue, as always, to call out White Supremacy and check it, every chance I get. That's right! I've had the blood of White Supremacists on my clothes. And it was very sweet. I think I'd like to have a bit more of that White Supremacists blood on my clothes. So good, that I have to do it twice! Mmmmmmmuah!!!!!!
