    WOW……thank you so much for showing this lost classic ! Part of American history. Mantan has got some dance moves, light on his feet. I am a huge Mantan Moreland fan. I Would love to see his movie ‘MANTAN RUN’S FOR MAYOR’ from 1946.

      I would too, but it's lost at the moment. Fortunately, "Mr. Washington Goes to Town" has been recently found and uploaded onto TH-cam. So there's some hope .
      On

    It seems these movie were made on the east coast, I live in LA and had no former knowledge of these films from this era - this is an honor and a pleasure.

    The opening music is Vltava from Smetana's ''Ma Vlast'' symphonic poems. Beautiful!
