being a lover of movies from the 30s means you are constantly playing a game i call Blackface Roulette. it's not just that there's blackface. it's that it can happen in any movie for no reason at all with no prompting or signaling beforehand.

i favor screwball comedies, which are not necessarily less racist but more urbane (blackface is pretty broad, base comedy), but you really never know.
