What the...

I managed to obtain this racist gem on a very cheap DVD in a bargain store, it is very racist and stereotypical. But hey, while this crap wouldn't pass off now, this was made in the forties when African-Americans sat at the back of busses. Several of the women sound like men and the bald guy who plays the piano solo oddly looks like a monkey.

Anyhow, it's only mildly racist and won't make anyone particually upset. If you can obtain it and are prepared to part with seven minutes of your time- I suggest it for some stereotypical entertainment.
