Incredible historical Hollywood performance print in black and White rendering. Outstanding VERSION! MERCI BEAUCOUP FOR this incredible incomparable historical archive rendering! Emmanuel from Paris France
Incredible remastered rendition rendering historical rendez-vous ! Merci beaucoup for this incredible rare sound and image 35 millimeters historical shorty. An incomparable smooth archive ever! Emmanuel from Paris France.
Originally released (for "home movie" use) as part of the Castle Films "Music Album", "Songs of the South"- available in their catalogs from 1946 through 1953. "The Dixiairs" were actually "The Men and Maids of Melody", featured in various "Soundies" of the early 1940's.
Too bad they all got old. Don't mean to be depressive. It's miraculous how the camera captures an instant in time--such youth. Such beauty. Not a care in the world, and everyone's just having a good time.
Video Machine called soundies- before -- "MTV"... I found this watching something about -- urban legends or "conspiracies" type video called "The Mandela Effect" .. this footage is or called "Dixiairs in the Southland".. .....----Singing songs about the south-land I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again And I think it's a sin, yes""----........ -----I still I am glad to have grown up listening to music from the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's and some 2000's..
Actually, only one person spoke, The man that introduced the dancers, He didn't have an accent. And I imagine many of those people in those clips were not southerners if these were produced In Hollywood (Castle Films was founded in California). But it'd sure be nice to think that at least 'some' of those girls were from down south. It would be interesting to know who some of those people were anyway. I always wonder what became of some of the extras you see in old music videos etc. Someone watching could say, "That's my great grandmother!"
ALL the people are beautiful...The lady at 2:56 is stunning, while gal at 3:13 has laughing eyes! 4:57 that woman has a certain extra something. I like the guy in the stripes at 4:26 very much! The whole over all coriagraphy is awesome, and every actor/dancer/singer is superb... I great little production!

@@jaesansalone1285 That's true, you don't have to be feminine and have grace to be a 'woman'. Of course, just being a woman doesn't necessarily mean you are a 'lady' either.

@@ramonmcgee2240: I think the girls are prettier than I’ve ever seen in a hip hop or rap video. PERIOD. The music is great. I see you don’t like the “tote that barge, lift that bale” aspect of it. We live in different worlds.
@@ramonmcgee2240: One more thing. It’s a low budget soundie from the early 1940s. I can show you an all-black Fats Waller soundie from 1941 that is visually just as awful as the “Waiting For The Robert E. Lee” soundie yet somehow hits the spot. They’re fun to watch.
Searched Amazon for a book about Castle Films , found it, and one of the recommended related titles was "Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland" Just a coincidence based on my viewing history, I suspect. In any case, I learned that Castle issued 8 m m home viewing films, combining 3 previously made "soundies" -- so both the 1941 and 1946 dates may be correct, since the last song is the only one with a Roman numeral issue date. The 1940s Showboat style movies were almost the last gasp of the 1840s minstrel show racist blackface clowns and the fictionaldixie South of the sentimental "lost cause" romanticizers spread during the segregation years. Now it's all history to learn from. Maybe I will get that book!
love the 1:45 moment. Great up skirt shot. Yes I love looking. so what ? They want to show it off, I will look. As Dean Martin said in one of his songs,"you can't go to jail for what you are thinking" True, true, whatssssuuupppp?
What's not to like? You got some pretty dancing girls, a few white guys in black face. Heck even the colored gals are very light skinned. I imagine in their ancestry some "southern gentleman" had his way with a winsome black lass and didn't mind a bit in selling off her children that he fathered. Apparently it wasn't cotton but the selling off of enslaved children that kept many a plantation solvent.
Marrowbones Please stop trying to justify blackface. They were pretending to be black people by painting their skin black, over lining their lips with red paint to mimic black facial features. Does that not seem wrong to you? It’s hard to believe it wasn’t a mocking thing during that time period. The reason that white people are seen as “bad guys” is because that’s how they treated ever other race for millennia and a lot still do to this day. I’m not saying all white people are racist or that racism doesn’t go both ways. But white people did try to convert other cultures to theirs and enslave, mistreat, and segregate people more than any other race.

Man I wish I was in Dixie too..... Dont know why I settled for less..... Too late now.
Amazing to see people born 100 years ago being so beautifull and healthy
Pretty faces, gorgeous figures and beautiful legs.
Yes indeed, specially those thighs.
I'd like to think those long legged beauties are all real southern girls. That would make it perfect.
black face taints this
Awesome thanks
Awesome ty
No es justo que el tiempo se haya tragado tan hermosas y graciosas mujeres, hay que ir por su rescate !! ❤❤❤

I wish there was more info on "The Dixiairs". Some of the women look very familiar.
Need to hear more Dixie
Bravo!
they show America of that day in a right way for me , a stranger

Nothing wrong with this video, good old Black and white Minstrels..
What i found most interesting and a bit ironic is that none of the singers in the video clip had a Southern accent!
Accents fall away while singing!

Women of 1946 definitely more healthy looking...

The beauty of women back then is just incomparable. They were pretty but they had a grace and femininity that is missing in today's girls.

Copyright MCMXLVI = 1946
1941 or 1946?
A little research, says 1946
These were soundies from 1941 repackaged as musical shorts in 1946. I recognize two of the African American women from Fats Waller soundies from 1941.
surprised the PC crowd hasn't repoorted this because they are wearing black face
At least the women back then were more modest & weren't flashing their knickers at ...... oh wait
Yeah but back then the knickers were more robust!
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if those girls had practiced all afternoon to learn that dance routine
