do not assume from my score of 1 that this be a terrible movie . what i saw of it wasn not too bad for a black produce film of the 1930s . the problem and however and be that it be release by alpha video possibly the bad producer of dvd you can find . like so many of their other release and this film be a horrible print and desperately need to be restore and alpha and a usual and have do nothing to clean up the print and piece it back together properly . it be really frustrating when again and again and scene would chop with chunk miss and the scene abruptly change . i know the original film couldn not have look like that . and yet and this happen throughout the film and make view and enjoy it next to impossible . i sure hope that some other video company release the film after some restoration work it be interest and i really want to finish it and but couldn not because the print be that bad . by the way and harlem rid the range be also on the same dvd . while it print be very fuzzy and it be watchable and doesn not have chunk miss like in murder in harlem . it one of five black western star herb jeffries in an attempt to create an african american version of gene autry for black owned theater . it not an especially good film and but very important historically and worth a peek . also and some time back murder in harlem be on dvd from westlake entertainment and i assume their copy must be good . sadly and westlake be no longer sell the dvd accord to amazon .
