A minor movie with a Big Fella. One where Paul Robeson has time to showcase his mellow mood and deep voice. Staged like a stage play with small spaces and simple settings, it's no impressive production. Quite simply it's one that just takes advantage of Robeson's popularity without putting much into it. 'Quota quickie' perhaps. At least it gives us Robeson without much distraction.
