Good Film Making Requires Money And Skill

Undercover Secret Service agent Carl Mahon goes down to Mississippi on a case, falls in love with Starr Calloway. When that case is completed, they head to Chicago for his next assignment.Like most of Oscar Micheaux' sound films, I find it important but not very good. A great deal of its badness can be laid at the feet of a budget too small to sustain a good movie: no money to rent decent equipment, no money to rent studio space for long enough to manage set-ups, no money to take the time for rewrites and rehearsal. So the leads are awful. In fact, when you hear Frank H. Wilson speak, his naturalism gives you hope. But no one else has it. You may, if you wish, use this reason as an escape for its badness. I fear I don't. I'm afraid that people have to spend some time being bad before they can be good. They have to learn their craft, in this case, the craft of moviemaking.I note that by this time Micheaux was a competent silent film maker. The exterior sequences at the beginning of the movie are well composed. But movie making had moved into the sound era, and Micheaux had to start all over again.

Oscar Micheaux's The Girl from Chicago is worth a look despite it's obvious amateurishness
