It is admirable that Vidor wanted to show "the Southern Negro as he is" in this historically important, all-black musical film intended for a general audience as an authentic representation of black culture in the 1920s, but it is also unfortunately very condescending and artificial.
-
Yeah. Not much to mine of interest here. Blacks on screen! Ooh wow! It's a wee bit condescending.
