I watched this with my Mother tonight. She last saw it in1952.The music, Paul Robesen and the canoe scenes were the vivid recolection that got us looking for the film again.

Paul Robeson spent his life advocating equality, brotherhood and friendship. This film epitomises racism at its worst yet Paul Robeson injects his philosophy and the ending is a glorious panoply of humanity.

[ronneesam]

Paul Robeson's voice is the envy of all basses. The resonance is powerful enough to make the chair you sit in shudder yet displays tenderness and gentility. His presence and charisma raises this film to the classics.

I first saw this movie when I was a small child and have always loved the singing from it.
