GANG'S ALL HERE, THE(1941)
This is a semi-comedy about insurance fraud! A
man who owns a trucking business is running into
financial problems. He gets hold of a man who has
all the answers: have someone run their trucks
off the road so that he can collect the insurance!
The two stars(Frankie Darro & Mantam Morland) do
a great job here in entertaining us with their
humor(especially Mantam)! Also here is Keye Luke
(best known for his Charlie Chan movies!)! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
While this comedy does not feature the complex
screenplay of "Up In the Air," the best of the
Frankie Darro and Mantan Moreland team-ups, it
time -- that being a time of segregation laws
and the dawning of the nascent civil rights
movement. And as if a Black/White buddy movie
were not enough of a ground-breaker for 1941,
this film also features the wonderful
Chinese-American actor Keye Luke as an insurance
investigator. Nowadays dual-racial and cross-cultural
buddy movies are so common as to hardly merit
special notice, but long before such famous
films as "48 Hours" with Nick Nolte and Eddie
Murphy, savvy audiences were amazed at the comedic
interplay between Frankie Darro and Mantan
Moreland. I sincerely believe that in their
own way, fun little movies like this laid
the groundwork for racial tolerance and an
end to segregation laws -- but that is not
the only reason to watch them -- the truth
is, Mantan Moreland is one of the great
comedians of the 20th century, and every
film he made is worth a look. - catherine-71
