Minstrel Man (1944)

Unusually elaborate for a PRC film, Minstrel Man is a lively musical drama built around the talents of veteran vaudevillian Benny Fields. The star is cast as Dixie Boy Johnson, who rises from the ranks of minstrel shows to become a top Broadway attraction. On the opening night of his greatest stage triumph, Dixie Boy's wife dies in childbirth. Profoundly shaken, he walks out of the show, leaving the baby to be raised by his showbiz pals Mae and Lasses White (Gladys George, Roscoe Karns). The kid grows up to be an attractive young woman named Caroline (Judy Clark), who follows in her dad's footsteps by billing herself as-that's right-Dixie Girl Johnson. This leads to a tearful reunion between Caroline and the father she'd long assumed to be dead. If Minstrel Man seems at times to be a dress rehearsal for Columbia's The Jolson Story (1946), it shouldn't surprising: the PRC film was directed by Joseph H. Lewis, who went on to helm Jolson Story's musical highlights.

Minor ?B? musical, but it did nab two Academy Award nominations, for score and the song ?Remember Me to Carolina?. It is rather dated with all the black face in the movie, but the score is indeed good. Other than that it isn?t very memorable.

as noted before, the score is top-notch, including the 'cameo/guest starring' of john raitt the year before 'carousel'. benny's way with a tune here is heart-tugging and in feeling with the plot, which is not as bad as some have commented, and is more than adequate in keeping with the time it was filmed and the period it represents. (so there, you old farts.) gladys george is, as always, great in anything.
