Review of The Melancholy Dame

Edward Thompson and Evelyn Preer are the owners of a nightclub. Roberta Hyson is the dancer Ms. Preer is jealous of and wants her fired along with her piano playing hubby, Spencer Williams. I'll just now say it's interesting hearing the dialect depicted of African-American characters of the time on film and there's some amusement in what they say but nothing hilarious though Spencer Williams' question at the end was worth a chuckle. He'd later direct some notable race movies in the subsequent years as wall as portray Andy Brown in the "Amos 'n' Andy" TV show. Oh, and Roberta Hyson does a fine dance at the beginning. So I say give The Melancholy Dame a look. It's on YouTube right now.
