Ronnie M @spuncake 12/20/2024 I understand it was early Hollywood . But, this is so hard to watch. See more Steve D @RT35616104 12/28/2023 As offensive as it seems. See more michael d @RT16138633 12/13/2021 This was a profitable film for RKO but they examined it and felt the audience went for curiosity of black face performances of the two radio stars and once having seen it the novelty wore off. It's notable that the film featured Duke Ellington and his, "Cotton Club Orchestra." See more 10/25/2015 besides blackface this has some funny bits. See more 09/23/2014 As an African-American interested in movies and movie history, I've grown past being offended by blackface and silly voices. Even though I do enjoy the comedy of Gosden and Correll, this film is not very good. The Amos 'n' Andy bits are tedious and the high-society love triangle lulls me to sleep. Both halves are crudely pasted together along with part of a Duke Ellington one-reeler. See more 09/04/2009 The only Amos & Andy film. It felt pieced together - like two movies were made into one. The parts without the duo are dry, basically a drama about those courting a rich young woman. But the Amos & Andy parts are down-right hilarious. They were more or less skits that were attached to main film - it never really "flowed." I really wish they would have made more films. To note, political-correctness apparently took hold even way back when and the original blackface Amos & Andy were replaced by actual Blacks with much less funny dialogue and not as good timing like these, the originators.
