TEN MINUTES TO LIVE 1932 (MILL CREEK)

A film with an all black cast set in a night club with one patron wanting to bed a lovely singer and another gettting a note that is actually a death threat.
Lots of vaudville acts pad out the 57 minute running time and while the movie is unique for it's all black cast, it is strictly amateur acting that is so bad it makes one think they took a silent film and dubbed in sound over it.
The print from Mill Creek is astonishingly bad, but I am sure no one has ever thought of preserving a film like this.
Watch it for a rare glimpse of very early black cinema, but don't expect anything very good.
