    Watch this

    Must watch. Very sad, explains history, and gives real world perspectives that are very good and very bad on multiple levels. Ernie, Jedda, Bud, Peter and many others are exceptional.

    Mostly ham acting but embarrassing...

    Difficult to watch for entertainment because of the embarrassing racism.

    However historians and social scientists will find it a minefield of cultural mores and prejudice.
