However, lawyer Martin Dill (Maxwell) is made the executor for the minor. Dill plots to sell off the slaves and flee to Paris with the proceeds. Timothy is befriended by Jacques Bouton (Mowbray), who persuades Judge Louis Ravenal (Greig) to look into the matter and save the day.

MOST OF US ARE STILL WAGE SLAVES. THE MAJORITY OF US STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE IN A PATRIARCHAL WORLD. IT'S MOSTLY MEN AGAINST WOMEN - MEN CONTROLLING WOMEN. I FIGHT FOR MATRIARCHY, FEMALES TO RULE THE WORLD.

One of the dozen or so movies my dad was an extra in. They paid 5c a day. For 10c the desk clerk would let you sleep in the lobby of a hotel, as long as you held a newspaper so guests wouldn't suspect you were spending the night.
So many stories and memories. He chauffeured for Joan Crawford when he wasn't on set.
Amazing. What is his name?
@@reelblack Rodger Alford. In the 60s he became Asst Dir to Hall Johnson whose choir did all the humming and Negro Spirituals for all the major studios, including Disney.
He wad full of fascinating stories about the stars, especially the Black ones.
Alan & Annie Ford Please do tell. I just bet he had some stories on Joan Crawford. She was a piece of work, so I’ve heard. Mostly from other co-stars she worked with and how she was depicted in the Mommy Dearest movie it appears she was quite the Dame.
So sad 5 cents
@@rodgeralford7932 I hope that you preserve and write down his recollections. That is fascinating.
Wow it’s like as soon as movies became a thing they started trying to condition the minds of the viewers right away. The “happy” slaves, the black man in a dress... just wow. As a former film student I’m viewing this in a totally different light. One reason why I wanted to work in TELEvision. It’s literally in the spelling of the word. It’s a controlled variable. This is crazy. Thankful for the ones who pioneered the way by making these movies. Humiliating or not. I take pride in them doing what they HAD to do until WE could do what we WANT to do🙏🏽
Truth be told beloved but fast forward they are still perpetuating that bias and racism. All it takes is a few marquee talents such ad Denzel and Dave Chapelle to invoke an awareness to its ignorance, henceforth this "wokeness" must be plucking a nerve since they are vehemently opposed to CRT.
so good to see movies like this and realize🤔 we're definitely not how they say we are ...our people are the ones who did all the hard work but didnt get paid for it.. but our reward will always come from God...we ALL will get our reward for WhatEver We've done...good or BAD! yes judgement day is real and it's coming 🙌🙌🙏🙏 we do thank God for all the ones who helped us and had a heart to do right instead of evil...they will be Blessed🙏❤
Somebody definitely have to answer.
Amen
Yes the Good Lord he will judge the Sheep from the goats again yes, they the wicked will be accountable for their actions.Our God Jehovah is a righteous God. Janice Harley
I was slightly offended to see our ancestors depicted as happy “farm workers” to a nice and gentle master who loved them, when the reality was quite the opposite. However, the realization that movies like this one were actually trailblazing for black actors because we weren’t seen otherwise helped me sit through it. Thank you for sharing this with us.✊🏾❤️💯
The one thing they tried to push was that the negro slave was happy and content with his lot in life. That the negro was happy and proud to be a laborer to to the white man. And servitude is all he is fit for.
It still don’t sit right with me. Especially since this movie was written by black men. Langston Hughes being one of them
I see so much victory in the mist of adversity in this movie really just strengthens me personally to keep on trusting in my Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ always through the power of the Holy Spirit I shall not faint
Amen and amen 🙏 🙌 👏❤!!
Thank you for uploading this!!!
My family comes from Louisiana and I had some of my lineage who were slaves, free slaves, and those who were not slaves. I look at this movie and I am proud to be a French, Spanish, Italian Creole. I can appreciate those people who must have suffered and maybe that is where I get my strength!
U forgot to mention black
I was greatly intrigued by this film as well as thoroughly entertained. In particular as its co-creator was Langston Hughes. Suffice to say that the understanding of history necessarily requires its paradoxes, contradictions and inconsistencies be understood and embraced as Hughes certainly did. Also ,I thought Bobby Breen's rendition of "Motherless Child" was the most soulful I have ever heard. Thanks once again, Reelblack for this offering.
The Salves are SO HAPPY!! PLEASE!!!!!
Probably happier than you.
For them to portray us like this and for us to participate is horrifying.....we are the same people that before us jazz, rock,soul,blues,and bluegrass never EXISTED, and look at this......the sins of north America are truly great.
Wow! Sure did take a humongous chunk out of humanity to fulfill their LUSTS. Who justifies this Evil root today?
Have you no pride in the accomplishments of your ancestors from their arrival here moving forward? If they had stayed in Africa they wouldn’t have had any of the advantages they found in America. The advantages of living in North America have been great. I admire the gift of song and dance that’s endemic with the Black community. Have they not been rewarded for it?
Huh .???? I'm not trying to make you look like a fool , but, Uh.... did you realize that " them" were two Black guys ?! Both were very well -,known and well - regarded, both races. Still are. And neither were considered Tom's in their own communities. Good Lord. The blame game has really gotten out of hand. This is pathetic. You have managed to dlss two really quality people here.
And the slaves already seen as the lowest of low, but to add religion in the mix, now they are miserable, filthy sinners in need of saving. And the question is, with all their belief, are they ever rescued from that miserable life of servitude for the white man?
I remember watching this when it first came out...I was 27 years old.
THE MUSIC & DANCE IS GREAT, SOME CHARACTERS EVIL, SOME GOOD. NOTHING IS EVER PERFECT, ONLY HEAVEN.
One of the early musical numbers has Cab Calloway all over it. I like the way they incorporated music and dance styles from the era in which the film was made. Reminds me of how Netflix' Bridgerton, a 19th Century period piece, uses hiphop music. I can appreciate the fact that this story was written by a black man, performed by black talent during a time when using white actors w/makeup and bad wigs was accepted. I know this film ruffles a lot of feathers, but the idea was to sell tickets while showcasing black talent putting as many butts in the seats as possible in 1939! There have been several recent films depicting the sadistic brutality of slavery and they're hard to watch a 2nd time. This film must have been a really big deal in Harlem and other black communities that had access to it.
Too joyful and musical for me to watch and take seriously. Love the actors, just the era during that time. Trying to watch.
Doesn't matter which era, it was still UNACCEPTABLE!
I love a lot of the Southern movies that depicts families sticking together, working hard, and having discipline on the children. Morals and values. Not all family’s did but Most southern black folks did. The parts I take from the different things in these films is the being about values and father hood and being taught manners Etc. Like Cicely Tyson God Bless her soul, she played those types of films that was shot in the Jim Crow South, she played a strong mother grandmother in those roles and showed that we do have character, we are somebody regardless of what they say or what the era or circumstance. May be. She bought Down home love to her roles in sounder Jane pitman Etc. Ester Role, Bea Richards, Ruby Dee, Irma P Hall all them bought light to their characters. Though it’s hard times, but they showed how to still keep on keeping on.
Cecily Tyson, Ruby Dee are my favorites.
Absolutely, she is The Greatest .Ruby was Good as well. Bea Richards to Olivia Cole. Esters Role
Loved her!

The Hall Johnson Chorale was amazing! Beautiful vocal arrangements. 🎶🎶🎵🎵
So difficult to watch.
Being a black man, I see humiliation, a disregard for human life. They remained slaves. To see them happy dancing and singing broke my heart at the end..(sobbing)…. There was nothing good about the enslavement of my people.
You can't say enough about these movies.
It's so heartbreaking to know that during those times how the African families 💔 were broken and sold off that even to this day we don't know who are relatives or ancestors are, and because of this injustice that was inflicted on the African people, there will never be enough good or reparations that can make up for all the damage that has been done, and it still continues today for I have yet to receive my 40 acres and a mule 😁 and that is just putting it mildly
@Lindsay Michaels comments like yours suck because none of those places you named coined the term(land of the free) and it's been historically written that American slavery was the worst as far as torture and misplacement...
@Lindsay Michaels Sit down some where.
But God will have the last word.
I think its a long term positive. Without the slave trade, our black friends wouldn't be here in America. Unless you think blacks folks in America is a bad thing, it's an ultimate positive result
@@JoeMama-dy6op black people were here from the beginning of time. White people bringing Africans here is NOT our origin story! Films like this were made as propaganda! We been here!!!
All for a paycheck and a few seconds of notoriety... I'd like to ask these folks was it all worth it? I'd like to ask the ones of today the same question. You'll always look like the lowest of the low when you let your enemies own the means for telling your stories.
This is film, why be so picayune? We know stories were embellished, altered, edited etc,...
Yes thank u please put more of these oldies but goodies on please....ilove em
you see how fast the lil black boy ran even with no shoes bless his heart.
So many black children in the Jim Crow South and antebellum South didn't get a pair of shoes until they were seven yrs old.
These movies in 🤗🤗🤗🤗black and white are excellent to watch, better than colour .
Ty for this sad and Beautiful movie!
Beautiful yet bitter sweet ♥️💔.
Love this kind of classic cinema. I wish Hollywood could make classic, down home movies like this.
They just wanna show people tweaking, shooting, cursing and coming out the closet. Shytt sux

I really enjoyed this movie great story telling. though I believe it was 10 times worse than shown here.
(Saturday Morning)...I Can't Watch This...(Given Today's Climate...Its Past Hurts and Forward Healings).
Later: But, Those Were/Are My Peoples.
ReelBlack you have done it again.... You have us (me) watching movies (when I could be working) where a society has purposefully held back others and the teaching of history has been and is actively neglected to keep the mass population from seeing just how foul the people in places of authority have been and continue to be. I find it comically that there is not one movie depicting any caucaisian in a less than stellar view. I appreciate your posting these.
But this “movie depicted a caucasian in a less than stellar view.” Mr. Dill was going to jail for his actions.
Depicts a divided world and now we are moving back into a divided world. What good is an education if knowledge is not the objective. Grasping history in context is important to a useful education.
THE DRUMMER IS UNBELIEVABLE, YOU GOTTA' HEAR HIM
Amazing channel....so informative to see the history..excellently curated films & docus....there is so much to learn from here...hope you get a wide range of viewers!
Stime found work after the Little Rascals Movies I see.
Matthew Beard worked for decades after the Our Gang Comedies: www.imdb.com/name/nm0063915/
Nothing has changed. We have the illusion of inclusion. Today we still watch slavery movies like twelve years a slave
I agree, and a inferiority complex.
I agree 💯 percent..... worst now tho cuz most don't know we still slaves
chronicman06 well I didn’t mean literally nothing has changed. 🙄
@Lindsay Michaels we have done it ourself but your ppl bombed do you not know about the Black Wallstreet....
@Lindsay Michaels it's not a democratic or republic thing it's America period both parties are crooked and blind to the fact
Gone With The Wind BEFORE Gone With The Wind...both came out in 1939.
I guess they saying it was good times, shh...but it is what it is,these are our pioneers ,,respect
People who had slaves will pay for everything they did...many are dead for many yrs and are probably already paying ...sad for everyone...Im thankful my family never owned slaves...Im very thankful
How are they paying
Slavery has been a part of civilization almost from the beginning of the world. It was part of the world’s culture. Unfortunately it’s evil still exists in human trafficking even though it’s illegal. Reality throughout history is that there were good slave owners and bad slave owners. They all do not deserve punishment.
Beautiful movie 🍿 🎥
I wanted to watch this I mean I was until about 12 min in yall got these damn people too happy chopping that damn sugarcane singing and dancing aint no way
I would have been dead bro
.
They had to make a living and fake grin.
Our ancestors where the strongest folk ever..
It was made for a white audience so they will be smiling and happy no matter what. We know what it was really like though...
fammmm...lol
What in the world was Langston Hughes thinking to be a part of this abomination??
This was the way of the times..
@@Michelle-jz8vl he depicted a truth.
I loved watching thee movies growing up. Yes, they stereotyped our folks but I loved these movies.
Happy...jolly???...Shit..that's because the cameras were rolling...lol..and the actors portraying field workers actually got a few cents....I can't believe movies were made like this claiming reality..who in the hell would be happy working and struggling for crumbs???...I'll wait....
These were part of the Great Depression years. Money and jobs were hard to get. Hollywood was a place where many of all races sought employment and were grateful for it.
Damn, you see it right before your eyes, it's like taking a bitter sour lemon and making a picture of sweet lemonade
Thank's for showing this.
This is a really, disgusting, misinterpretation of "The Galant South",, depicting the slaves as "happy, subservient creatures, all under the care of their great white mater(s)." Thank God for the African-American film makers, Oscar Micheaux and Spencer Williams; both who had a rather accurate depiction of African-Americans, producing countless movies throughout the 1920, '30s and '40s. Nevertheless, disgusting as this movie may be, I still deem it as a valuable tool of history, provided that the content is understood for what it actually is. Not for the falsehood that it propagates. Thank you the posting this!
Get over it.
@@coobay4786 I have a better idea. You get over it. Get over the fact that this system of racism will be called out, if not by me, by a plethora of others. So, instead of taking refuge into your lame gaslighting methods, get over your fear and guilt and just face the music for what it is. Meanwhile, I will continue, as always, to call out White Supremacy and check it, every chance I get. That's right! I've had the blood of White Supremacists on my clothes. And it was very sweet. I think I'd like to have a bit more of that White Supremacists blood on my clothes. So good, that I have to do it twice! Mmmmmmmuah!!!!!!
@@coobay4786that’s what he’s doing, white boy…..
WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THE MUSIC WHEN THE SLAVES START SINGIN' IN THE SUGAR CANE, & DANCIN' - IT'S BEAUTIFUL! BEGINS AROUND 12:00
It don't get no better @12:00.
You know this is beyond the limits of being happy for slaves crazy 😡
I cringed watching this.
I couldn't do it,just got an a argument with a feminazi.
NOT ME. IT JUST REAFFIRMED TO ME THAT WE ARE A STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
Still waiting for you to make your point.
Langston Hughes was involved in this? I wonder how much did Hollywood change his vision.
Maybe they broke him off for the price of admission. Whites weren't going to pay once they seen his name in the credits.
Yes. Hughes had wanted to break into film for a long long time but he had a horrible experience making this movie. He wrote some of the great songs in this film (like Good Ground, the sugar cane song) & could have had an really amazing career in Hollywood (in my opinion) if the industry wasn't so damn racist.
Langston Highes thanks for leaving our history intact and visible so there's no doubt.
@@azariyahbenyahudah5this movie was at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, so to be negative towards Langston Hughes is pointless.
@@aarondigby5054 The height of the Harlem Renaissance mirrored the era of great strides for our people, however there was an overwhelming stain of bigotry and resentment towards our achievements in the land of our captivity. Our resilience and mettle had been tested and proven to be impregnable by our unwavering faith as the chosen people of the Most High of Israel.
This reminds me of Django unchained
Lol, both were complete fantasy!
Damn what out black people had to go through.And we still survived.One thing about this movie at least they brought out how insensitive the slave master was to his slaves this was rare in in 1930s movies.Ok they did hide the slave master whipping his slave but they did show the whipping post and the slave with the whup marks on his back.
Glorious
Amen 🙏 to this, we maintained our African traditions and costumes despite some of our own people tried to deny it🧐. We up🙌🏿
Although the perfume of hate still lingers, it's good to know these times & people who perpetrated such evil are all dead & are now dust in the grave
I think Kanye saw this version of slavery. Why he thought it was a choice. Like a big o'l party huh...
Ye need to take his meds, he's not a real ni##a, he's a Armenian Kardadhisn a## kisser
Clarence Muse, the actor who plays Uncle Caton was prominent citizen in my hometown Perris. CA.
Clarence muse was at it...being an entertainer and making a living at it...entertaining for a long time...I guess this was the only way they would let him make this film...talk about cowardice on the behalf of the movie studios, the movie distributor system and the backers of films
Clarence Muse also wrote some of the music. His best known song is "Sleepy Time Down South". A hit for Louis Armstrong.
Deservedly so. A man with a lot of knowledge and a lot of things to say. Not only did he act in this (" Uncle") he co-wrote it. Spend 5 minutes with this old flick and you'll see it's not your typical 1930s " Happy Darky" story. It's complex, if a bit cumbersome, but sensitive. Brilliant. I wonder who financed this.
@@sidneyjohnson892 I don't hear/see a condoning of ANYthing here. It doesn't waver for a minute from portraying slavery as an evil institution. It's just that it's done by two guys , Muse and Hughes , who were celebrities at the time but not seasoned screenwriters. I think it's all pretty refreshing.
@@sidneyjohnson892he got it done, now the Marvel movies with Chad Bosrman, Angela Bassett are CashCows, but the seed had to planted somewhere, these actors are to be revered and honored
Lord have mercy a bunch of happy,dancing damn slaves now ive seen it all and in the hot Louisiana sun to boot
fearing to think will bring no change.
I have been uploading this movies and more for a long time.i just don't know how to put them in .in the you tube thing I just upload them on my phone.yes as an afro black cuban woman I love to learn about my ancestors.i came from my country as a little girl.trust me I know about our struggle.been going through it here.bless all the chosen good people, and rest for the ancestors.may Our Father The Creator protect us.
Welcome to America our afro cuban American sistet.
@42:10 that's some real singing.
That was the era back then, the slave’s were not Happy But back then they had to skin& grin to not apear ungrateful and all to the Master. The people in that era was Good folks, Had love for their family and other slaves. My family from old Virginia, down in the hill country and I think my grandmother’s great was a slave in Va. my grandmother was born in 1920, her mother 1892, Etc, The South was cruel back then. Virginia to Texas. So these films shows just what our Southern ancestors went through. I don’t get up set watching these classics because I know we will never ever go back to those days. I wish today’s generation would learn something about their people & ancestors and learn about All the Great Black people. One thing about back then the parents were strick on their kids. No sassing back to adults and if you did you get that tail whooped. Like Hattie McDaniel said, I’d rather play a maid then B one.
Who s the boy singing Sometimes i feel like a motherless child? Beautiful song...💜
Who Stime from the Little Rascals?
His name is Bobby Breen.
Didn't one of these ladies play on the cosby show I just saw the thumbnail
1st time seeing this. Interesting
The myth of the happy slave just delighted to work for their kindly massa
This films had so many faux pas including a black man in a dress!
We built this country. Reparations Now!!!
............no
Beyond belief
This is so funny, I wish I was in Dixie away away , ha ha whoo mammy
Not in 1865 Gen Sherman made the Antebellum south scowl. I bet you wouldn't have wanted no part of Dixie.
Is it me, or didn't Lanston Hughes get it wrong?
That's stymie from the little rascals.
YES
FYI this movie for whites and how they visioned the south to be. Romantisized.
Thank you for furthering my education. Painful and somewhat cleansed the film is edifying and needs to be seen especially today when American corporations are developing "cities" exempt from sovereignty of the nation of Honduras, affirmative action struck down by SCOTUS, minimum wage struggles to lift people out of poverty on going and more....including traffic stop murder of black people.
I appreciate the upload. However this movie is so cringe 😬
See slaves were happy. This is a documentary, filmed in real time.
"And those Henry Browns think their selves are smart but we'll see won't we"?
Seems that the untold history is ppl who were traumatized from a Kingdom and thrown into slavery hasn't been uncovered in facts. Tell that story!
12:00 WONDERFUL SINGIN' & DANCIN' REJOICING OVER THE SUGAR CANE HARVESTED - IN THE ANCIENT DAYS OF MY COUNTRY LITHUANIA MY FOREFATHER/MOTHERS WOULD KISS THE GROUND AT HARVEST TIME TO THANK MOTHER NATURE - PEOPLE USED TO RESPECT THE EARTH BEFORE THESE EVIL PATRIARCHS PUT FORTH THEIR AGENDA - & WE ALSO THEY TELL ME WOULD HAVE 'MUD BATHS' TO CELEBRATE THE CREATION OF OUR VODKA DRINK, HAHAHAHA. GOOD TIMES. EVERYONE DRANK VODKA & ROLLED IN THE MUD, IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO THEY MIGHT DRAG YOU IN, WITH CLOTHES & ALL.......THE DRUMMER MAN/MEN IN THIS MOVIE ARE AMAZING..................
Thanks for enjoying this film. Plenty of wonderful singing
2022
Let's all watch a movie with happy dancing slaves in it.
@ICE IS WATCHING thank God for that they weren't slaves they were just betraying them in a false false way.
Jordys Mom exactly they seemed happy when in reality they were miserable
They don’t have a southern accent.
Pointless..They were so blessed to have a "good" master
@19:34 that's Stimey of the Little Rascals.

This movie was made to ease the conscience of those who through out history have behaved as if they where not human but demons and devils. Th best part is when the horse trampled the good massa.
You have a distorted view of life.
@@deannewilliams6897 That's funny because that's what the devil would say.
We all know there weren’t any slaves dances and singing in the fields. Please
Yes. All other movies out of Hollywood are completely realistic 😂
I don't know if it's me or what this shit don't Make me mad I mean it was just the ways of the times it was business I don't know if I'm just cold hearted or what but it's a lot shit to me I just be like ho well shit happens trust me i been through some shit it just be like well
Stymie Beard AND Lincoln Perry? Man....
The chimney sweep was played by Willie Best. He was another version of Stepin Fetchit (Lincoln Perry).
@23:10 that's Lincoln Perry known as "Step-n-Fetchit
Actually Willie Best, who was somewhat of a low rent version of Stepin Fetchit.
To think that 74yrs earlier slavery was abolished but not fully in effect across the whole nation for years. So many or all of these black actors had parents that came from slavery or possibly even seen it first hand.
Which brings to question, regardless the opportunities for the black actors it almost seems unprincipled. It's a hard matter because they were just starting to make huge strides in their time breaking through in war, jobs, politics but to display inaccurate accounts in film seems unprincipled.
I couldn't think that I could play a film starring as George Floyd but falsely displaying who he was to make a way.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I would've thought they would've all walked out of the film once they saw how they were being portrayed knowing the absolute truth.
Let me add, Sugar RAY Robinson at this time in 1939 was just 19yrs old boxing with Joe Louis referring the fight. Meaning we have come so far by just then yet we reverted back in film. Sorry, it just doesn't make sense why we gave in to humiliate ourselves in film when there was opportunity to say NO! Regardless, history is history and we can only move forward. I just know that I will never stand to humiliate myself or the ones before me for nothing or nobodies entertainment or for the future to pave the way for them.
How Crackhead George Floyd get in the convo, it's not hard to portray a dope found. Leave GF alone
This film was written by two black men. Research.

He didn't sell any slaves but he owned them!!! And yet they call him a good man smh. RETRIBUTION TIME ISRAEL!!!
The Genesis Of The White Savior Motif In Film…
I am gettin' learnt'.
I know that what has been depicted here is purely fabrication. I further know that the most horrific conditions that have been depicted are what was the truth. I am a 70 year old white lady from the Deep South where slaves were used to the maximum to harvest the fields of the white men and I am certain that they were treated horrible. I am just so glad that slavery ended and the black people have been freed and although they struggled greatly they have come a long way. I feel like they have had opportunities that many have not taken advantage of. My main complaint is that they want to blame the people living today for what our ancestors did. I am here to tell you that I was raised dirt poor and didn’t have any more than the black people that lived around me. My daddy went without work and we went hungry just like they did. We continue to struggle to this day just like they do but we don’t blame them so why do they blame us for their situation????
