Given this IS a good movie and I saw it before when I was very young but I just watched it again and was dumbfounded when I saw the literal black makeup they put on the actress Theresa Harris who played Cleo and another actress who played a bit-part! I realize this movie was made in 1940, but seriously how can anyone in good conscious watch it without being totally distracted by the awful makeup they used?? My heart goes out to the memory of Theresa Harris who was not that color in real life! Watch her in "Out of the Past" so that her true complexion and talent are seen.
