Outstanding!
I have two words to describe this film -- absolutely outstanding! I am always interested in viewing, and showing to others, positive early films about African Americans. This film certainly fits the bill with its assemblage of some of the greatest stars of all time. The acting, singing, and dancing are all superbly rendered by a stellar cast of African American performers. I highly recommend it for use by academicians who teach courses focusing on the 20's through the 40's as well for those interested in good leisurely entertainment. It not only is entertaining but also sends a powerful message about the challenges of being a performer in the context of marriage and family.
