Review by anonymous (posted on 14-Nov-2006)

One of my favorite movies. Although I was only two when the film was made I was able to see and admire the legends of film and music as the looked in their early 20s and 30s. Eartha and Ruby were beautiful young women, and to see Pearl Bailey as a young woman and see one of my favorite singers, Nat Kig Cole, warmed my heart. I would love to purchase a copy of the movie, but can't seem to find any place that has it. I would love to include this masterpiece along side my growing collection of early black films (like Purlie Victorious, Hallelujah and Green Pastures. If you know where I could purchase a copy please to let me know. Thank you, John Hooper (john.hooper@langley.af.mil)
