Movie: TREASURES IN BLACK CINEMA DVD

A quartet of films hosted by ""Shaft"" himself, Richard Roundtree! From the birth of cinema, Hollywood produced over 500 ""race films"" exclusively for all-black theaters with all-black casts. Comics, cowboys and gangsters all found an easy home in these segregated cinemas, and new movie stars were born. Now you can take a close look at four unsung gems of black cinema: The Devil's Daughter (a tale of island voodoo), Gang War (warring mobsters battle for Harlem's Jukebox racket), Herb Jeffries in The Bronze Buckaroo (an all-black-cast singing cowboy Western), and finally, Mantan Moreland in a beautiful copy of Monogram's Up in the Air, a murder comedy staged at a radio station.
