LET'S SCUFFLE

“Let’s Scuffle” is a short subject – a single song-and-dance number – that appears to have been cut from a feature-length movie: to be precise, a ‘race film’. (This was the term used by American cinema exhibitors in the 1940s and earlier for any movie with an all-black cast, intended primarily for distribution in black neighbourhoods at a time when many American cinemas were segregated.) The song-and-dance performer here is none other than the great Bill Robinson.Let’s Scuffle <USA, [s.n.], 1942>
