Sinekatalog’s take
King Vidor's early sound drama with an all-Black cast follows a Southern sharecropper turned preacher who is lured by a seductive woman. Daniel Haynes and Nina Mae McKinney are electric in a flawed but bold, musical landmark.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
