Frankie Darro circa 1941 (公共领域)

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.

Frankie Darro was born Frank Johnson, JR. 十二月 22, 1917. His parents were a circus act called The Flying Johnsons. 然而, they divorced when Frankie was still very young. Frankie then transitioned to making films at six years of age..

He signed with Monogram Pictures in 1938. His series of “乙” films were among the most popular at Monogram. Many of Monograms other main players made appearances in Darro’s films. Mantan Moreland was one of his most frequent co-stars.

Darro like so many stars before him struggled with alcohol. He opened a bar in the 1950s, which ended his film career and eventually his life. He passed away on Christmas Day, 十二月 25, 1976 上面的年龄 59. He left behind a rich filmography of 193 titles.

This film is an enjoyable comedy-mystery, which only runs 51 分钟. 如果你看这部电影, let me know how enjoyable you found the movie. You can leave a comment or ask a question about this or any post on my Facebook页面Twitter的个人资料.
