Lucky Ghost [Slim Case] Review

This is perhaps the best surviving film of Mantan Moreland.

Our man here stars with his occasional stage and film partner Flournoy (F.E.) Miller in a comical all-black farce from 1941. He and Miller play a couple of bums who, as a result of a lucky crap game early in the film, get big bucks and throw a wild party at a haunted house.

Those familiar with the popeyed wonder will note a difference in this from his more mainstream films with Frankie Darro and his Charlie Chan comedy/mysteries. The humor in these early Black films tends to be more sexually charged than mainstream films of the area. Our man trains his oversized eyeballs on one actress' rather fecthing booty and one shot of a hostess pouring champagne focuses on her cleavage. This stuff would not stand the censor's scissors in "white" films of the time. There is also a famous crap shooting sequence (not the one described above, this is later in the film) of our hero going into outlandish convulsions over the dice (this scene occasionally appears in documentaries about stereotyped Black comedies of this era). He of the golf-ball peepers is quite the rascal and runs wild in this film, an illiterate (he signs his name with an X), crap shooting, gal-chasing, ghost-fearing, chicken stealing, buck-dancing machine! President Barack Obama he ain't. Yes, much of this is outrageously stereotyped by modern standards, but the film is so lovingly outlandish and over-the top ridiculous that only the most humorless hardcore, fight-the-power fist in the air pseudo-militant and PC types would get out of joint over this. Leave your brains at the door and it's fun, Fun, FUN! Trust me, it beats "Soul Plane."

Unfortuantely, aside from the Charlie Chan and Frankie Darro flix, few of Mantan's best all Black films are known to survive ("Tall Tan & Terrific" from 1946 is not worth watching at all except for our man's antics). Let's hope some more of them are found. This will give you a good belly laugh on a lazy afternoon (especially the last 10 or so minutes-you'll see what I mean)!
