Incredible historical Hollywood performance print in black and White rendering. Outstanding VERSION! MERCI BEAUCOUP FOR this incredible incomparable historical archive rendering! Emmanuel from Paris France
Originally released (for "home movie" use) as part of the Castle Films "Music Album", "Songs of the South"- available in their catalogs from 1946 through 1953. "The Dixiairs" were actually "The Men and Maids of Melody", featured in various "Soundies" of the early 1940's.

Too bad they all got old. Don't mean to be depressive. It's miraculous how the camera captures an instant in time--such youth. Such beauty. Not a care in the world, and everyone's just having a good time.

Actually, only one person spoke, The man that introduced the dancers, He didn't have an accent. And I imagine many of those people in those clips were not southerners if these were produced In Hollywood (Castle Films was founded in California). But it'd sure be nice to think that at least 'some' of those girls were from down south. It would be interesting to know who some of those people were anyway. I always wonder what became of some of the extras you see in old music videos etc. Someone watching could say, "That's my great grandmother!"

ALL the people are beautiful...The lady at 2:56 is stunning, while gal at 3:13 has laughing eyes! 4:57 that woman has a certain extra something. I like the guy in the stripes at 4:26 very much! The whole over all coriagraphy is awesome, and every actor/dancer/singer is superb... I great little production!
The only thing that could make the better is knowing that each one of those pretty women were real southern girls. Especially those last two girls at 0:33. They look like they could be sisters.
I DON'T LIKE YOUR COMMENT, BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT I RANGE FIRST, BUT WITH A LIKE! I MADE A SIMPLE STATEMENT ,WHICH IS OK! BUT " NO TATTOOS" IS MUCH MORE THAN A STATEMENT! TODAY NEARLY ALL TATTOOS ON WOMENS SKIN REVEAL A VERY BAD TRUTH! YOU ARE FIRST.
If I were 20 again, I probably wouldn't date women today. They all wear the same black tights, are covered with marks, and all speak like they are out of breath.

@@jaesansalone1285 That's true, you don't have to be feminine and have grace to be a 'woman'. Of course, just being a woman doesn't necessarily mean you are a 'lady' either. But don't worry, either way, you're free to be as feminine, graceful and classy as you like, or as harsh, rude and and repulsive as you like. Nobody's stopping you. ;-)
just like the "Black and White Minstrels" we had on BBC TV in the 1950s/1960s. They could have continued by engaging black artistes as of course "blacking up"was outdated.
@@varietyguy Well, it could be the terrible choreography, the Stepford Wives-like movement of the ladies along the balcony, the "happy slave" mythology or most likely that the entire video is "supremacy porn." Start there.
@@ramonmcgee2240: I think the girls are prettier than I’ve ever seen in a hip hop or rap video. PERIOD. The music is great. I see you don’t like the “tote that barge, lift that bale” aspect of it. We live in different worlds.
@@ramonmcgee2240: One more thing. It’s a low budget soundie from the early 1940s. I can show you an all-black Fats Waller soundie from 1941 that is visually just as awful as the “Waiting For The Robert E. Lee” soundie yet somehow hits the spot. They’re fun to watch.
Searched Amazon for a book about Castle Films , found it, and one of the recommended related titles was "Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland" Just a coincidence based on my viewing history, I suspect. In any case, I learned that Castle issued 8 m m home viewing films, combining 3 previously made "soundies" -- so both the 1941 and 1946 dates may be correct, since the last song is the only one with a Roman numeral issue date. The 1940s Showboat style movies were almost the last gasp of the 1840s minstrel show racist blackface clowns and the fictionaldixie South of the sentimental "lost cause" romanticizers spread during the segregation years. Now it's all history to learn from. Maybe I will get that book!
What's not to like? You got some pretty dancing girls, a few white guys in black face. Heck even the colored gals are very light skinned. I imagine in their ancestry some "southern gentleman" had his way with a winsome black lass and didn't mind a bit in selling off her children that he fathered. Apparently it wasn't cotton but the selling off of enslaved children that kept many a plantation solvent.
love the 1:45 moment. Great up skirt shot. Yes I love looking. so what ? They want to show it off, I will look. As Dean Martin said in one of his songs,"you can't go to jail for what you are thinking" True, true, whatssssuuupppp?

Pretty faces, gorgeous figures and beautiful legs.

I'd like to think those long legged beauties are all real southern girls. That would make it perfect.

Nothing wrong with this video, good old Black and white Minstrels..
Pure class! I was born in 1946
Me too. I'm 75 now and going strong.

I wish there was more info on "The Dixiairs". Some of the women look very familiar.
The US equivalent of our UK Black & White Minstrel Show from the 1960s
I remember watching that when I was a little bloke - it was a wonderful show! 😊
they show America of that day in a right way for me , a stranger
What i found most interesting and a bit ironic is that none of the singers in the video clip had a Southern accent!
Accents fall away while singing!
Actually, only one person spoke, The man that introduced the dancers, He didn't have an accent.

Yeah! They were happy to be women...and no Botox, silicon, or tatts to be seen.

Wow super I'm from Tamil Nadu❤
Women of 1946 definitely more healthy looking...

The beauty of women back then is just incomparable. They were pretty but they had a grace and femininity that is missing in today's girls.

1941 or 1946?
A little research, says 1946
These were soundies from 1941 repackaged as musical shorts in 1946. I recognize two of the African American women from Fats Waller soundies from 1941.
