How the hell is it so clear!? I’ve never seen old footage so clearly
This movie is a historical document. It illustrates an all Black cast performing at their best. If I were alive in 1943 , I would have been asking the beautiful soul sisters, ''are you married? ''
Nice to see the great dance choreographer, Katherine Dunham. (In the stormy weather dance scene) How beautiful she was.
????????
I haven't seen this in decades. Thank You for sharing it!!
????????
This is Gold my friend!!!!
Great dancing and outfits.
????????????????????
????????????????????
Somewhere Deep in my Soul needed this.
Okay, Wikipedia lists this main character as being born in 1875….that would make him 68 in this movie. I am not buying that!!!
Thank you soooo much for sharing this classic. I’ve never
Seen it and it was only available for rent /buy here. I’ll be sure to share your channel and content
This is an amazing movie! I really enjoyed it. The music is fantastic! ????
俺が生まれる２０年前、日本とアメリカは敵国同士だった。
Nice Movie
The Nicholas Brothers’ scene…..
Took my breath away!
Classic film! Excellent cast & amazing music
Desde hace 20 años buscandola. Ahora si , en el 2024 ????
????movie! Wish there were movies like this today with a cast full of stars and all black everything!
Thank you, Simon Templar Film!
This is the best history lesson regarding black music one can get. Just recently have I learned about Lena Horne. Cab Calloway blows me away along with the Nicholas Brothers.
'Hollywoodism' brought me here.
Brilliant movie. All my favourites, Cab Calloway, Bill Robinson, Fats Waller, Ada Brown, Lena Horne, Nicholas Brothers with an incredible dance routine. This movie has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and with good reason. It is just great!
Thank the heavens for my for father's and Godess of Lena Horne… i am nothing if not for her sake..
????????????????????????????????????????????????

Bruce Perry’s book on Malcolm X brought me here. He said this was one of his favourite movies.
The good ol' days when nobody complained about racism.
If they make a movie about Lena Horn i can see Alicia keys playing her
Lena Horn was beautiful
I'm not even from that era and the Nicholas Bros. piece is some of the finest dancing I've seen on film. I can't even explain the greatness of their dancing and I bet they didn't even know how great they were. Just 2 lovers of dance.
Lena Horne OMG wow
The Beautiful Lena Horne
