Thanks for this video!
I love the waiter and his little tray!
You can also see where Gene Kelly got his inspiration from. He must have seen this film.
I love this clip, bessie is awesome as always! I also love the concerned waiter behind the bar!! He really was going for an oscar!
Fantastic video. Thank you so much
Wonderful footage – thanks for posting!
Yea the waiter is smileing when that the player runs out after taking her money .What concern ?
So great!! Hard not to listen over and over.
Terrific Music from the Great Bessie Smith, great dancing as well from the sleazeball
What I would give to be having a nice cool drink in that Bar! Long live Bessie and the other great artists from the 20s & 30s that are sadly forgotten by most people today, I won’t.
Great!
PHENOMENAL!
It gave me chills! Bessie Smith’s acting made it absolutely REAL!
This is one of the greatest moments on film, and I’d never even heard of it.
