  • Im affraid, comparing them to Laurel and Hardy, Laurel and Hardy are funnier. :(

  • @SIMPFANN I have the original cutting continuity of the 90-minute preview version of SO THIS IS AFRICA and there are no racial slurs whatsoever in any of the dialogue. Not sure why anyone would want to spread this kind of misinformation.

  • @nbatterby You might be confusing Wheeler & Woolsey with Clark & McCullough. Wheeler & Woolsey made feature-length films, it was Clark & McCullough that made the short films. C & McC's films are generally awful, but the best Wheeler & Woolseys hold up remarkably well today.

  • @ph0220 What you see and hear of the song is everything that exists. The MPPDA forced Harry Cohn to edit the footage that was deemed censorable. Columbia junked the deleted scenes and that was the end of that.

  • Can you get a full uncut version of this song?

  • @SIMPFANN Depends on the TCM channel, in UK they use a play list from Germany, nothing to do with the US film list, which includes pre war, ignored here apart from some classics. No shorts, no silents, nothing pre 1940, and we still have to subscribe on packages with cable, TCM is a complete and utter mess and difficult to praise, due to this awful attitude..

  • Thruout the 1970s and 1980s Channel 7 (WLS-TV) would show W&W movies late Saturday night (around 3 AM). They were fun to watch after a night of club-hopping!

  • Yes, I remember them in the 30's. Saturday matinees at the local flicks. Short supporting films. They were eclipsed by Laurel & Hardy, Marx Brorthers and Chaplin. Funny enough in their time but not memorable.

  • @avelotro It's not true that this has never been shown on TCM. I have a DVD copy of it with a TCM logo on it.

  • @phgp27 I know there's a lot missing from it- many scenes were cut, that's been well-documented. But nowhere have I ever heard of the N-word being used in this movie. Then again, who am I to argue against someone who saw it in the theater? I didn't think there was anybody living who actually remembered Wheeler and Woolsey at all!
