Hidden gem...

I also watched it tonight on TCM. Love to watch the forgotten "Race" films of the 20s. 30s. and 40s. Francine Everett was a pretty good actress. I wonder if her acting and mannerisms influenced Dorothy Dandridge in Carmen Jones since she was pre-Dandridge. Considering the production limitations Spencer Williams had at the time, this film is pretty good.

Agreed, I wish TCM would show more race films. I love seeing African Americans on film in the Golden Age of Hollywood playing normal roles, instead of degrading roles like house maid or porter.

I didn't think it was half bad considering the possible limited budget.
