I love silent films, though this one heralding the first film performance of Paul Robeson is simply good or decent, not great or essential. Robeson's performance is excellent in an otherwise average melodrama, and it's clear he's going to be a star of the silver screen. In her only cinematic appearance, Julia Theresa Russell, who was the director's sister-in-law, deserves mention, however. She's gorgeous and her acting wasn't bad at all. The jazz/blues/spiritual score on the Criterion Collection release, I believe by Wycliffe Gordon, is outstanding. Recommended if you like either silent films or Paul Robeson.

One of the more talked about Oscar Michaeux films that was the feature film debut of African American Actor Paul Robeson. Although this film had major budget restraints & left the film with many holes its the story is of two brothers both played by Paul Robeson one a gentle man the other a convict posing as a priest. Both are after Isabelle & she mainly likes the gentleman but mother pushes her to Priest who is a violent, dishonest & criminal man in actuality. The film is filled with some confronting flashback especially the rape scene which was done with just shots of the feet. A confronting film ahead of its time & Oscar Micheaux was not only a pioneer of Early Black Cinema but a figurehead in cinema alone, well worth a watch.

Paul Robeson's debut film in Oscar Micheaux's silent film is quite a taboo, groundbreaking film in its time, but due to censors, it only survives in a truncated form, with many elements reshot, cut out, and tacked on with an "It was all a dream" ending that actually makes things "Happily ever after". With this, Robeson's role as twin brothers does get confusing at times. Oh well... It is still worth seeing, as Black cinema in the 1920s is far and few between, especially the surviving ones.

A movie that has a great reputation ahead of being a great movie (this was one of the first "all black" movies ever made). If there was one reason to see this movie, that would be for the great Paul Robeson, who just outshines everyone here with his acting ability. As a matter of fact, when everyone is emoting, emoting, emoting, Robeson is more natural, and therefore more believable. Speaking of believable, the story is pretty hoary, with a cheat ending of course. Not the greatest movie. But what do you expect from Michaux?

One of the revelations of this 1924 feature by pioneer black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux is that, in contrast to the faltering technique and garbled film syntax of his sound pictures, he was stylistically assured as a silent director.
