A musical about a man's soul.
Sinekatalog’s take
Vincente Minnelli's debut musical is a fable of a dying man's soul fought over by heaven and hell, with an all-Black cast. Ethel Waters and Lena Horne shine in a warm, lively and soulful film with fine songs.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
