    Ganz, ganz toll! 😊 Aber leider irgendwie zu leise in der Lautstärke hochgeladen... vielleicht ein Neu-Upload mit besserer Lautstärke? 😘

      Na ja, ich musste den Ton irgendwie angleichen und hatte mich für die leisere Version entschieden, auch damit es keine Verzehrungen im Tonbereich gibt. Für rund 30 Euro empfehle ich z. B. die Logitech-Lautsprecher (auch von anderen Firmen) mit denen man leisere Videos lauter anhören kann, da diese über einen Lautsprecher mit Regler verfügen. Ansonsten vielen Dank für Ihren lieben Eintrag, Ihr Kompliment und Ihre Anregung. 🙂😊🙂😀😇

    Al Jolson in blackface not once but TWICE??? WHY??

      The first full-length sound film was "The Jazz Singer" (1927) with Al Jolsen. In it he sings about his "Mammy" and the second film clip from 1936 also alludes to the "Mammy songs" from "The Jazz Singer". In the second film clip from the movie "The Singing Kid" (1936), I simply find the entire song and dance number more than successful. Honking cars, Al Jolson's funny facial expressions and the final sequence at the end, which is reminiscent of the "Blackfaces" number from "The Jazz Singer", round off the whole thing successfully. Warner Brothers certainly didn't have discriminatory acts against Americans of color in mind when making both films. In my opinion, it was rather an attempt to carefully incorporate people of color into various film musicals, which was initially done with minstrel numbers, for example. Unfortunately, however, society in the 1930s and 1940s was not yet ready for this. For this reason, many very talented actors and dancers of color were initially seen in various B-movies and in the two most famous films "Cabin in the Sky" (MGM 1943) and "Stormy Weather" (20th-Century-Fox 1943), which are undoubtedly among the best and most successful films with actors of color.
