Poster for the film, 41x27 inches; condition fine (B-). Hollywood, 1936

  • Notes: Playing a dock worker turned opera singer and a long-lost royal heir to a small kingdom in Africa gave Paul Robeson ample opportunity to display his rich singing voice and his acting skills. It pleased Robeson to be able to imbue his characterization with some true aspects of the life of a black man. Elisabeth Welch played the singer's wife in the film.
