Frankie Darro Airijos linkėjimai (1939)

Frankie Darro ir Mantan Moreland buvo suporuotas kartu pirmą kartą šioje tarptautinėje nuomininkų, Ltd (Monograma Paveikslėliai) filmas, Airijos Luck (1939). Į filmas (Partnerių nuorodos), Frankie Darro vaidina “Buzzy” O'Brien, viešbutis pasiuntinys, o Mantan Moreland Jefferson, viešbutis porteris.

“Buzzy’s” father was a police officer killed in the line of duty. “Buzzy” wants to be a detective, so he is constantly on the watch for criminal activity at the hotel. In the beginning of the film, Jefferson attracts the attention of the police by moving a mannequin back and forth on the ledge of the roof to attract the police’s attention. “Buzzy” is keeping an eye on some bond thieves until Steve Lanahan, a police lieutenant arrives.

Lanahan is an old friend of “Buzzy’s” dad. He saves “Buzzy” and warns him about continuing to try and be a detective. Of course, “Buzzy” ignores him or the film would be over. “Buzzy” continues hunting the mystery man or woman. Jefferson is his unwilling partner.

I was surprised about Darro and Moreland being paired together as a mixed race buddies in a 1930s film. While Moreland portrays a number of the stereotypes of the time, Darro’s characters always treat him with friendship and respect.

If you can get past the distasteful stereotypes, Mantan Moreland delivers another spell binding performance. Moreland was a born performer, who you were drawn to when he was on the screen.
