Full Plot Details

Chronic gambler and carouser "Little" Joe Jackson is shot by Domino Johnson at Jim Henry's gambling club over an outstanding gambling debt. Little Joe's wife, the God-fearing Petunia Jackson, prays not only for her husband's mortal life, but also his eternal soul as she's afraid that if he dies now, he, despite not being an evil man, won't make it into heaven. As Little Joe is close to death, he is visited by agents of both the Lord and of Lucifer. They make a deal with him: they will give him six months to atone for the errors of his human life. Once back on Earth, he won't remember the deal but both the Lord and Lucifer will be watching over him, trying to get him to see things their way. As both sides try to get Little Joe's soul, they figure that some of the most powerful tools they have at their disposal are the women in Little Joe's life: Petunia on behalf of the Lord, and Georgia Brown, a gold-digging floozy, on behalf of Lucifer. As hard as both the Lord and Lucifer try to get Little Joe on their side, they don't factor into the equation human judgment, which turns some of their work against them.

Movie Reviews

CinePassion - 8/10 by Fernando F. CroceLustrous, gospel-folklore retelling of Faust
LarsenOnFilm - 8/10 by Josh Larsen...a suspect morality tale, yet once the performers grab ahold of the music, all that falls by the wayside.
Combustible Celluloid - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonVincente Minnelli's enjoyable directorial debut.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyMinnelli's feature debut was MGM's first all-black musical since Vidor's Hallellujah!, a stylized fable boasting great performances from Lena Horne, in her first major role, and Ethel waters, as her nemesis.

User Review - 10/10 by Orion WThis came out at about the same time as 20th Century Fox's Stormy Weather, but its obvious that Arthur Freed and Vincente Minnelli gave alot more credit to the African American entertainers than Fox did. They took this Broadway play and did it a great justice on the big screen and let the stars shine all by themselves. Eddie Anderson Plays Joe, and he does a good job of portraying a man who has a good heart but just can't seem to say no to temptation. Eddie is most remembered for his role on The Jack Benny show on radio and TV, playing his Valet Rochester. As Rochester, Eddie may have been in a sub-servient role, but he was treated as an equal by Mr. Benny, and Jack gave him most of the best jokes. Looking back its amazing how many films Eddie pops up in. I only recently found out he was in Gone With The Wind, that I did not expect. Ethel Waters plays Joe's wife Petunia, and IMO steals the whole film away with her performance. She was magnificent thats all I can say about it. Its a damn shame she didn't get more leading roles, but again the times didn't allow it. She was a strong minded woman who wasn't afraid to speak out when she didn't like something. This unfortunately got here blacklisted in Hollywood, which it one of the biggest mistakes ever made in Hollywood. They missed the boat with Ethel, she should be much better remember than she is. Lena Horne plays the seductive Georgia Brown, and I have to say I applaud Joe for resisting her charms because I don't think I could have. Lena is another one Hollywood screwed up with, they could have made her a huge star and all because of the lousy southern states and their damn prejudice, she never got her chance as a film star. She and Ethel were great singers though, so they did quite well on that front I believe, but they deserved much better than they got. Now there are people who paint this film as racist, but by all accounts, it was not meant to be and was not considered so by the African American community of its time. This film did not belittle the African American population, it was played with great diginity by its cast, In fact I'd venture to say that if they made this film with the usual all white cast, with no changes in the script whatsoever, it would be the same movie it is now. This is a tremendous film, and it should be more well known today.
