Incredible historical Hollywood performance print in black and White rendering. Outstanding VERSION! MERCI BEAUCOUP FOR this incredible incomparable historical archive rendering! Emmanuel from Paris France

What a collection of beauties! Really outstanding troop.

Simply very enjoyable!!!

Originally released (for "home movie" use) as part of the Castle Films "Music Album", "Songs of the South"- available in their catalogs from 1946 through 1953. "The Dixiairs" were actually "The Men and Maids of Melody", featured in various "Soundies" of the early 1940's.

Fantastic ... wish we had more of this style today !!!

Incredible remastered rendition rendering historical rendez-vous ! Merci beaucoup for this incredible rare sound and image 35 millimeters historical shorty. An incomparable smooth archive ever! Emmanuel from Paris France.

Love it, was searching for hours for these!

Beautiful thanks!

Excellent!

Man I miss the good ol' days!

Too bad they all got old. Don't mean to be depressive. It's miraculous how the camera captures an instant in time--such youth. Such beauty. Not a care in the world, and everyone's just having a good time.

Pretty faces, gorgeous figures and beautiful legs.

Actually, only one person spoke, The man that introduced the dancers, He didn't have an accent. And I imagine many of those people in those clips were not southerners if these were produced In Hollywood (Castle Films was founded in California). But it'd sure be nice to think that at least 'some' of those girls were from down south. It would be interesting to know who some of those people were anyway. I always wonder what became of some of the extras you see in old music videos etc. Someone watching could say, "That's my great grandmother!"

But don't worry, either way, you're free to be as feminine, graceful and classy as you like, or as harsh, rude and and repulsive as you like. Nobody's stopping you. ;-)

Searched Amazon for a book about Castle Films , found it, and one of the recommended related titles was "Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland" Just a coincidence based on my viewing history, I suspect. In any case, I learned that Castle issued 8 m m home viewing films, combining 3 previously made "soundies" -- so both the 1941 and 1946 dates may be correct, since the last song is the only one with a Roman numeral issue date. The 1940s Showboat style movies were almost the last gasp of the 1840s minstrel show racist blackface clowns and the fictionaldixie South of the sentimental "lost cause" romanticizers spread during the segregation years. Now it's all history to learn from. Maybe I will get that book!

Such beautiful people, it must have been heartbreaking to be so good looking and not make it into movie rolls, male of female

What's not to like? You got some pretty dancing girls, a few white guys in black face. Heck even the colored gals are very light skinned. I imagine in their ancestry some "southern gentleman" had his way with a winsome black lass and didn't mind a bit in selling off her children that he fathered. Apparently it wasn't cotton but the selling off of enslaved children that kept many a plantation solvent.

Marrowbones Please stop trying to justify blackface. They were pretending to be black people by painting their skin black, over lining their lips with red paint to mimic black facial features. Does that not seem wrong to you? It’s hard to believe it wasn’t a mocking thing during that time period. The reason that white people are seen as “bad guys” is because that’s how they treated ever other race for millennia and a lot still do to this day. I’m not saying all white people are racist or that racism doesn’t go both ways. But white people did try to convert other cultures to theirs and enslave, mistreat, and segregate people more than any other race.
