-- Synopsis: Hollywood's first all-black film since The Green Pastures which became a Musical Comedy Sensation! Petunia Jackson (Ethel Waters) has been struggling to get her husband Joe (Eddie Anderson) to give up gambling and lead a righteous life who is torn between the love of his good wife Petunia and the wiles of good-time bad girl Georgia Brown (Lena Horne.) Petunia appears to have finally succeeded, but when a relapse puts his life in danger he finds heaven and hell battling for his soul. There are good song with Lena Horne, Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. Overall a very good film for all.

* Ethel Waters does a little Shimmy for which she was known for. Buck and Bubbles do a little acting. Archie Savage does an excellent Lindy Hop scene along with just about the whole cast to the Duke's Music. Leon James does his "Poke" (of Moke and Poke) character. The Lindy Hop scene is one of the best on film from the awesome "Pimp Walks and Fish Tail" entrance to the aerials on the swing-out.
