This super "B" film was made when I was 3 years old. I am now 85 (September 2021). What a pity that these actors could never have known that their films would still be watched after all this time. Am going to watch these 2 stars (Mantan and Frankie ) in "Phantom Kiiller" made in 1942. Regards to all you film buffs.
@@ronaldstrange8981 yes sir i stand with you 💯 percent. my kids are in their forties and i couldnt get them to watch a b/w movie to save my life. what can you do. but give me a cup of tea and Mary Pickford, or William Powell and im in heaven. God Bless sir 🎥🎥🎥🥂
@@Ourladyrules THATS BC THE B/W PIC & LACK OF OVERWHELMING SPECIAL FX MAKES PEOPLE THINK ITS NOT INTERESTING WHEN REALLY THE PLOT & THEME WRITING MAKE BETTER MOVIES THAN VISUAL EFFECTS
I love the black and white movies too, but there's always a lot more whites than blacks in them and the blacks always have the demeaning jobs (janitors, shoe shiners, butlers, bellboys, etc.).
I was born 48" and I love these old B/W films . I know most of these movies are before my time . The dialog is always snappy and well written . The old" Early Show" featured many enjoyable films on local TV. Thank You for posting .😊😊😊PEACE & PROSPER😊😊😊
Great classic you never see again. I’m 65 years old. Grew up with Three Stooges/ Abbott and Costella you get the picture. Still watch them till this day no TV
So many complaints over the decades that Mantan Moreland kept being cast as a dumb man afraid of dead bodies and monsters. But over the decades Lou Costello and Stan Laurel kept getting cast as a dumb man afraid of dead bodies and monsters. Racism?
I'm sorry but this movie shows me how racist hollywood was back then. I grew up with shirley Temple she was a smart little girl. Recently I watched The Little Rebel. I didn't realize but they used her too. That's why you never see her movies not even on amc.
Would it have been better if the studios had not hired any black actors at all and they could all have become shoe shine boys instead of much admired actors making a good living? You are being silly...those were different times and nobody thought there was anything wrong with it. Nor with Shirley Temple either. And these actors did get paid you k now!
Mantan Moreland is always a pleasure : one of the great & prolific comic actors of early film histroy... great fun !
Mr. Moreland was GREAT in every movie he was in. He was one of my favorite actors growing up...
if he's in it..I watch it
Love Mantan Moreland films. Keep em coming
I love Mr. Mantan Moreland❤ one heck of an actor.

I love the black and white movies too, but there's always a lot more whites than blacks in them and the blacks always have the demeaning jobs (janitors, shoe shiners, butlers, bellboys, etc.).

I remember watching this movie on television, the Saturday afternoon matinee, in the 60s.
Me too!!!! I love the old movies.

Who are you!!!!!! The black cinema on your chanel is groundbreaking. What you have compiled may seem trivial but you are a true historian.
I know right. This is such an awesome channel. I recommend it to everyone.
But Mickey Mouse🐭 died.😥 He was murdered by the demon👹crats. Now, lets have a moment of prayer🙏 for the poor rat.🐀
They already know. They keep very detailed records about my identity😆
That's why lovingly refer to him as The Black Smithsonian ❤😂!
Seen him? I can’t lose him 😂
Just love Mantan Moreland movies
GREAT stuff. Thank you!
They keep telling Jefferson he needs to stay downstairs with all the other Negroes.

AWESOME MOVIE
Great twists and comedy
Lampwick is in this!
QUESTION-Why is Mantan Moreland so far down on the opening credits? In most his movies he is closer to the top.
So many complaints over the decades that Mantan Moreland kept being cast as a dumb man afraid of dead bodies and monsters.
But over the decades Lou Costello and Stan Laurel kept getting cast as a dumb man afraid of dead bodies and monsters.
Racism?
there’s no hope for people like you...
Is he the step and fetch it (I feel like it’s spelt another way? 🤷🏾♂️ 😂) dude?
I guess my destruction of militant racism screams annoys Dixiecrats.
@@younot6921 Exactly acting like a Ken. Don't worry they will soon be the minority since their numbers are dwindling.
Great Observation ken Konard!!!
Elemental my dear Watson, Elemental...
This guy has to be the worst friend ever.
The intro music sounds very much like The Rising Of The Moon.
The wearing of the Green
