Bobby Breen Double Feature, Vol. 3 (Fisherman's Wharf / Way Down South)
In keeping with the most popular format of 1930s musicals, Bobby Breen stars as a precocious singing orphan in both of these films, adopted by a San Francisco fisherman in •Fisherman's Wharf• (72 min.) and as a late plantation owner's son in pre-Civil War Louisiana in •Way Down South• (61 min.). The latter film is notable for its unpretentious and enlightened views on the master-slave relationships in the 19th-century deep south, most strikingly because the film was made decades before the rise of the civil rights victories of the '60s. 1939/b&w;/NR.
