I have to admit, I kind of don't like this clip. I resent it on a few levels, but that makes a good point. It's all just a bunch of silliness, really. Don't hate this stuff, because it doesn't really mean a whole lot, know what I mean?
Find delight in how nothing had to make sense in these sorts of movies. I really don't think they should be taken seriously- that takes the entertainment value away.

And now some time has passed and I feel differently still. I've just become used to it. :P three cheers for EC.

  • @20mbarry it's eddie cantor singing in front of a bunch of lightly dressed babes, not a clan rally. nothing in this depicts women as "dumb" but reading that into it does. If you have never seen a black person in film before it isn't surprising, You have been brainwashed to avoid American culture.You can't even hear the word communism can you?

  • @halloranedward. What could be offensive about the depiction of black women as slaves, of a white man 'blacking' up to play a central character at a time when no actual black person would have been able to play such a role ? What could be offensive about women being only ever portrayed as sex objects, as 'dumb blondes' ? True, this is a movie 'of its time' but as I said before, it shows how far we've evolved. As for Communism, what on earth are you talking about ? !

  • @20mbarry It is incredibly offensive that American culture can be called "offensive" on so many levels. Deprogram yourself. This is eddie cantor singing in front of some hot chorus girls . This should make you so proud to be an American you could cry, You should be ashamed. it shows how far the communist party has degraded the 21st century.

  • The woman at 5:09 is like WTF

  • Hmm the colored fellow at around 2:12 is actually a good singer!

    Quite different from the rap we hear these days.

  • Of course it's offensive on many different levels but a good social history lesson & indicator of how far we have come in the 21st century (and how much further we still have to go) Perhaps ironic that Eddie cantor epitomises the 'isms' here and was himself Jewish ?

  • @RayPointer Much as one's own views of the same thing are tempered by time.

  • great., we love america.

  • one can totally tell that the hay's code wasn't enforced yet when this film was made

  • Look for Lucille Ball in this number!
