Description
This 1939 musical about plantation life in the antebellum South features lyrics by the great African-American poet Langston Hughes. The movie is a curious period piece with a somewhat unrealistic attitude toward the treatment of African-American slaves, but the perspective is fascinating and the music and singing memorable.
