We had sheet music from "Roman Scandals" in our piano bench. The movie's plot itself is one part Sinclair Lewis, one part Mark Twain. The blackface routine was such an embarrassment to Americans that this excellent number, "Keep Young and Beautiful," is scarcely known in the USA, though it has been a perennial favorite in Britain since the 1930s!

  • @TimThomason actually thats not lucy at 3:24. that is her as 2:53 and she on again at 1:47 on the left. she's also seen around the beginning of the movie. she has a line of dialogue in the movie. and she's seen running and shouting around the end of the movie

  • @TimThomason that was also lucy at the start of the clip with the mud pack on her face

  • So, that's Lucille Ball at 2:53 and 3:24, right? I really don't have an eye for these things, but it appears she's not here much (her first film role, albeit uncredited).

  • Wow. A man in black face singing about how women should "young and beautiful" to be loved. This is incredibly hilariously offensive.
