it seem almost incredible that this film be make in 1936 and when the almost invariable tendency in hollywood be to portray negro a ( perhaps ) lovable and but mostly inept and submissive and rather primitive creature and good for a laugh and musical entertainment but for not much else . here we see and in primitive guise but with great delicacy and feeling and seriousness and depth ( even the difficult theological problem of the doubting god be touch on towards the end ) the event of the new testament a see through the eye of negro believer . this be one of the very few movie i have insist on that my child see a part of their education and and this should apply to many grownup too .
