Terrible film


This has to be one of the most ridiculous films ever made, Almost every scene in it is horribly cringing and there is no atmosphere in it whatsoever... It looks more like it's set in the 70's than in the 20's/30's. This film basically to me seemed like a series of scenes which had no coherance other than showing things that "might" have happened, not to mention the music which sounds vaguly like Leadbelly at best, and nothing like blind lemon.. Honestly if they were going to make a film about leadbelly this bad they might as well have not bothered, im pretty sure given the same budget I could make a better bio-pic-fantasy than is seen here.

I don't agree, I thought Roger E. Mosley did a great job as Leadbelly. I thought it was a good film and it should be shown today.

Word, prettyD2368. Why Paramount lets this sit and rot in their vaults is beyond me. They probably don't even know that they have this terrific, terribly underrated film in their library. Maybe Criterion will license it from them and do it justice on DVD...
