OK, they WERE poorly acted...
and ever more poorly scripted, too. But Micheaux's films ARE also important cinematic history that absolutely deserves to be preserved on DVD. Would a boxed set be too impossible to ask for, Facets?

Even if you watch this film out of historical curiousity, you will either fall asleep or you'll eject this video long before the end. The shadows and lighting are so bad that you can't really make out what's going on (as well as the roar of the poorly preserved soundtrack). Find grandma's home movies of her winning the flower arrangement contest at the county fair and I'll guarantee that you'll find that more entertaining than this!
