Nina Mae McKinney overacts in this film!
This was a independent film production as you can see and you will see when you watch the film the filming isn't really good and its not glorius black and white like in Hollywood, but that was the disadvantage of of independent films, they wasn't as good as Hollywood, but you can still understand the story. They showed these and made these movies around the Chitlin Circuit where they made black films, and showed these black films around in Europe or around different black cities, but these black films still exist, but a lot of them are lost. This is an all black cast with a white male as a love interest. Nina Mae McKinney stars in this film and her acting is always great you can see a little bit of Chick(the starring role she played in the classic black musical Hallelujah.) in her in this film. Nina Mae deserve better then this, but as you can see she carries the movie, and she kind of overacts in this film, she's too good for this picture, they should of gotten a unknown. But its worth a watch if your a Nina Mae McKinney fan.
