Loved this DVD; excellent choice and music!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I absolutely love this movie. It's filled with a super cast of late actors, singers, and musicians. It is also very thought provoking and funny at the same time. I've owned this movie for a few years, but decided to purchase as a gift for my sister, who introduced it to me. She lost her copy, and I know it will put a huge smile on her face!

Great movie
||Posted .This is a very entertaining musical. Historically it is a gem because it is the first all-black musical made in America

Classic Movie
Posted .This is a classic, African American film. It's a favorite of mine and my mother's. She lost her VHS years ago, so I surprised her with this DVD. She loves it and watches it often. If you love classic films, then you must see this one.

HORRIBLE experience
Posted .My Pastor was promoting this film. I ordered it at two separate times and EACH dvd I received was defective. Best Buy said they receive these from an outside vendor and had no control over the product shipped.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
