Description
Paradise in Harlem: Black comic Lem Anderson does minstrel comedy on the vaudeville circuit, but dreams of becoming a serious stage actor. When he witnesses a mob hit, he is forced to leave town. He heads down south to find work, but he is plagued by personal demons and a drinking habit. Just as all seems lost, he is called back to New York to star in Shakespeare's play Othello, but when the mobsters learn he has returned, they resolve to silence him for good.
Description
Burlesque in Harlem: A typical 1950 Harlem burlesque show, complete with racy slapstick comedy, bawdy blues singers, showgirls, and slick tap dancers.
