    This style of performing is called vaudeville. BOTH white and black performers did the big facial expressions and body movements/dancing. You had to be larger than life for the audience in the back, this is the style that they are performing in. Even now, on braodway the style of the performance is bigger and more pronounced that on TV or film.

    Wow! that just punched me between the eyes. ❤️ No lie, my Grandmother was a dead ringer for Dorothy. So much so, she used to get mobbed for autographs walkin' around Harlem back in her day. My auntees (her sisters) used to tease her about the couple fender benders she caused while window shoppin'. Granny took it all in stride but was nobody's fool either. Nightclubs around Harlem used to pay her to come sit at their VIP table or in their lounge (with her "beau" if she wanted to dance😉) and the clubs security wouldn't let anybody get within 10ft of her table "to sell it"😉 So by word of mouth people would say "Dottie Dandridge relaxes at such a such a club! Saw her with my own two eyes in there just dancin' with her beau havin' Friday night fun like us regular folk". Next thing you know, Thurs/Fri/Sat night at each club is packed in the hopes of seein' Dottie. To not get in trouble with the real Dotties PR people, when my Grandma was ready to go, she'd smile and sign a few autographs on the way out guarded by security. Seein' this just hit me hard & some kinda way❤️ my grandmother's been gone since the mid 80's. She made alot of money and had tons of fun for free with her sisters as Dottie dead ringer look alike. Get this, my Grandmother's real name is Dorothy. FrFr.🤗 Like she used to say " playin Dottie on the nightclub scene for 3 days a week I made more money than the gals at the western onion (union) made in 2mths which back then, for a black woman was sayin' & doin' somethin'. She'd say "I'm blessed with good looks but no better or greater than anyone else❤️ Sorry for being so long but I haven't thought of granny in years. This coming into my feed opened a floodgate within. Thank you for listening🤠😎👍🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️

    Decades ago, I was a plumbing apprentice and I worked with a laborer, named Paco. He had come over the border from Mexico, as a teenager, in the late 1940's, in the Los Angeles area. He got himself a job and got married. He came home from work one day and discovered his wife threw his Zoot suit away. He loved that Zoot suit and was very sad to see it go, and was telling me about it 30 years after the fact. Wearing a Zoot suit in L.A. in the 1940's was like wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. It often led to scuffles in the street.

      ​@@caroldesarnoNeNe45 LA was the scene of the Zoot Suit Riots between sailors and young fashionably-dressed Latino males (1943). A lot of effort has been expended to invest this event with significance, but it wasn't the first time that a bunch of servicemen on leave got into brawls with their civilian counterparts to blow off steam. After all, they've been trained to fight and as you point out this was wartime. Soldiers and sailors constantly get into dustups with each other when they're on leave out of service rivalry, for instance. And the resentment that servicemen hold toward non-serving military age civilians (the cadence count variations on "Jody's got your girl and gone," is not the only expression) is the stuff of legend. As part of the war effort, many items were rationed. Women's skirts were shortened, for instance. A zoot suit, a celebration of fabric, might have seemed out of step with the mission from a military perspective, if not a decadent exercise in self-indulgence by those avoiding service that amounted to a thumb of the nose toward their uniformed contemporaries.

    "Reet" is jive or hepcat talk for "right," "sharp," "outstanding," or "way out there." A reet pleat is a pleat that is carefully ironed and starched so that it physically stands out without wire appurtenances. (MC Hammer pants definitely do NOT have a reet pleat.) In the race film "Reet, Petite, and Gone," "reet" is referring to gals who are "lookers" (highly attractive). ("Gone" here is the same as "out of this world.") Harlem talk was highly inventive, but African-American talk in general has always been highly inventive. I taught in an all black school for seven years during the 70s. My students used "Mickey D's" way before the corporation used it! Did you know that a "solid dollar" is a dollar bill and not a dollar made up of pocket change? (My school was at 69th and Wentworth in Chicago.)

    Its a shame that society outlawed the zootsuit in many cities. The majority society was jealous of african american fashion so they linked the suit to criminals but the suits were better looking than regular suits .
    Dorthy dandrige is too cute and was an amazing actress and singer . They both had me smiling and laughing.

    I have read the negative comments here about his buffoonery. To me, his buffoonery is like the comedy of the Marx Brothers and Fanny Brice and so many other vaudevillian actors of that day. I get the stereotypic reality but there are other dynamics at play, too.

      You are right in a sense, however black stereotypes were taken for black reality. For each Marx brother or Fanny Brice, there were other Jewish actors to balance and Jews heading studios. The first truly positive portrayal of blacks don’t come until the 1960’s

      Joseph Pearson that was so cool! I played “A train” at my dads funeral. He was an engineer for over 30 years in NYC. He also played Bass fiddle in a swing band and this was one of his favorites
