      Steve D D list cast does nothing with it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Audience Member A great tradition of film, the early beginnings of black film with all the elements representing progressive activism in the arts before Hollywood sanitized films in America for the sake of greater stockholder investments and profits in what Ronald Reagan could only dream about as a "Brother Rat". A classic American film of what was produced before Joseph McCarthy (the liberal 81) came to Hollywood. *(note 1 Senator Joseph McCarthy once criticized President Roosevelt for not being ;liberal enough.) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite a weak middle section, the beginning and end of this all-black drama are both very powerful. The play within a play of Gospel Othello is beautiful, spiritual, eerie. It was a little ridiculous that the nephew of the man who always wanted to play Othello would have a girlfriend named Desdemona Jones, but I let it slide because the acting is just so great. Since this movie has fallen into the public domain, it's readily available for free, and should definitely be watched. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
