Somewhat pretentious all-black film set in antebellum south. Features just about ever stereotype in the book -- it opens with negro spirituals and cotton picking, leads to fast dames and crap games, and ends up in murder -- and there is nothing here that is surprising or even really thrilling. Some good old songs well sung, convincing atmosphere, but poor story and acting make for a below average put to sleeper.
