    The 30's and 40's was truly Hollywoods golden years. They made great films without having to put in all the sex and violence.

      So so good to hear this. The news or media tries to tell everyone that smaller is better and is becomming the in new trend. But I do not believe this to be a good thing. Because everyone I talk to is like you they too would like a nice big warm home. That is what most sane familys want NO? ... The "youll own nothing and be happy" lie. Is just that, a lie. Things where so well made in these times. One part of America we would like great again. "The industrial machine is broken." Term I coined hope it catchs on. The want to build and create things for the better of man and the planet should never die.

    Exodus is Willie Best, so young here and has the last line!!! he manages the stereotype and the skill of a comedic actor with self-respect, if you watch carefully. he was an awful lot like Stepin Fetchit (who, btw, had a great career, made plenty of money for himself - and had the last laugh). Best didn't do as well in film, unfortunately - he was arrested for drugs, i believe, but did ok on TV; he was a musician besides that. as far as i'm concerned, i'm really glad for the people who made it despite all the odds - like Beulah ("if it ain't Wham, it ain't Ham") and Mantan - money and being able to work are the best redress.

    Since it wasn't the ape what "dunnit," the studio was able to use a real ape instead of an actor in the stiff, unconvincing costumes we're used to seeing in these old movies. A solid plot, one of the better entries in the genre, never mind the stereotypical joke from "Sleep N' Eat" (any relation to "Step N' Fetchit?) at the end.

He turns into a werewolf at night and attacks a dog and the servant girl. 2 detectives come to the house by the sea to check into the murders and they find hair and do checks on it. The hair disappears under light.
    If anybody can think of the name of the film I would be very grateful. I cannot remember the name of the film but I'm pretty sure it's from the 1930's UNIVERSAL era.. The detectives are a man, Yank I think and a woman.. She's a wee bit tapped in the heed. They found a dog tore to pieces and the dog belonged to the family of the guy who turns into the werewolf.

    Hey, BooBoo! Ooops, wrong Yogi. Sleep n' Eat, well we have come some distance from that. He was Willie Best, he and Stepen Fetchit made careers out of playing the stereotypical slow, lazy, ignorant Black servant who often came up with some pithy remark and many times had the last closing line of the film. No monster here. There wasn't much mystery here, obviously the old uncle was behind it all, Hans ( sounds like hands and not Johns in this film) was resentful. The ape wasn't even a red herring. A small surprise that Hans was the uncle's son. Hans and Ruth are cousins. A few years later, after the "Code" they couldn't have got away with that.

    A nice movie but the stereotypical black guy scared and talking slow, etc. i.e a “Steppin’ and Fetchin’” (Stepin Fetchit) type spoiled an otherwise excellent horror flick. So sad Hollywood felt the need to portray African Americans in this manner.

      Willy Best, as was Lincoln Perry, was a comedic genius. His performances were hidden parodies of white racism. By the way, there were plenty of white comedians who acted "scared" and "talked slow". Laurel and Hardy just to name a couple.

      @@jethrobodine9155 Yes, there were PLENTY of white comedians with that demeanor. But there were also PLENTY of white actors and actresses across all genres that were not required to act in that manner, such as David Niven, Sir Laurence Olivier, or James Cagney or Barbara Stanwyck or Vivian Leigh, or Bette Davis. These are some of my favorite actors and actresses. But African American actors and actresses of that time were only characterized as servants or porters or someone exaggeratedly scared to death of some ghost or monster. Paul Robeson was a great actor but he had to act in low budget black films. Hattie McDaniel was a great actress but she always had to play a maid. Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge were great actresses and stunningly beautiful. Black actresses at that time were required to play servants in white movies and cover their hair. They might get a spot as a nightclub singer in one of those movies and have their hair showing and a beautiful gown, but that’s about the only time a black woman would be depicted outside of being an overweight “mammy” character. She was not to be presented as beautiful next to a white actress. Black performers were only permitted to play other types of characters in black movies shown in black theatres to black audiences. I disagree with you entirely that there was some kind of plan to depict white racism by showing blacks as slow and unintelligent. I purchased some Looney Tunes vhs and dvd copies. Even in the cartoons of that time, there were black-faced characters, slow-talking mockery of black dialect, etc. Even in Bugs Bunny and Little Audrey cartoons. These would not be shown on TV these days but they do exist. So what would be the point here for presenting black people in such a negative depiction where there is really just a series of drawings and white actors voicing the portrayal? “Amos and Andy” was a radio show originally voiced by white actors making a mockery of black dialect. Are you going to tell me that show was used to highlight white racism? No way. All this mess showed the desire of whites to see blacks as some type of undesirables at the bottom of the totem pole, a people to mock and never take seriously. Did you know that when rock and roll became popular after whites like Elvis appropriated black music, the Shirelles and the Chiffons wanted to appear on Ed Sullivan but were denied because sponsors said southern whites would not want to see beautiful black women wearing gowns and coiffed hair singing and being intelligent? This is a country with a long history of racism. It even exists today where black hip hop artists are encourage to put a slew of N-words in their lyrics. Do you know how many black actors and actresses had to play maids and characters like the one in this movie before actors like Sidney Poitier or Halle Berry came along? The issue is one of balance. If there were only a few characters like the one in this movie but PLENTY of other portrayals of black characters by black actors at that time, then I would say OK. But when a million screens are graced by the likes of Olivier or Cagney, etc. for whites but ONLY some slow-talking scaredy-cat when a black person comes on the screen, I have a problem with that. You should too. Stop making asinine excuses for blatant racist behavior.
