Review of Cabin in the Sky (1943) by James J — 05 Mar 2009
Pretty crazy movie. It was enjoyable, but problematic in its racial representations. Everyone seemed to be smiling ALL the time, especially Ethel Waters, even when singing. It felt like they were maintaining a relentless creepy happiness and that this was to not scare off white people, by holding to the "happy darkie" stereotype that African Americans are always happy.
