Auction History Result DEEP SOUTH 1sh '37  Lease from Hershenson/Allen ArchiveAn Original Vintage One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) Deep South, the 1930 Leslie Goodwins black African American romantic marriage comedy musical short (with an "all colored cast") starring Willie Best, Daisy Bufford, Clarence Muse, Hall Johnson Choir, Jessie Graves, Bertha Powell, and Hattie McDaniel (in her first movie). Note that this is a very mysterious movie for a couple of reasons. It was released by Sack Amusement Enterprises in 1930, and it had a very early appearance by Willie Best, and the first appearance by Hattie McDaniel. It seems likely that in 1937, RKO decided to re-release this short, likely because Best and The Hall Johnson Choir (and also McDaniel and Muse) had all gone on to much better things in the seven years since it was made, and they released it as though it was a brand new short. We have seen an image of a one-sheet that only mentions Sack, and we think that is the first release, and we have seen a single lobby card from RKO and Sack, which we think is from the 1937 re-release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
