 Hallelujah review Product Description
This pioneering musical tells the tragedy-laced tale of a naive farmer who falls for a deceitful beauty.
The first all-black film produced by a major studio, HALLELUJAH represented the culmination of King Vidor's long-standing desire to do a project dealing with the lives of African Americans, strongly influenced by his childhood experience in Galveston, Texas. ...See Full Description

I guess for its time its a good movie. I just hate the why African Americans were portrayed. I loved the subject matter just hated they way we are portrayed like we are lazy and stupid.

Hallelujah, with it's all Black cast, is a wonderful film that depicts certain aspects of the life experience of our people who lived in the southern states during that time of our history.

Hallelujah DVD Features
Hallelujah
Hallelujah is a cinematic milestone: the first all-black feature from a major studio and famed director King Vidor's (The Champ, The Big Parade) first talkie. But the film surpasses its historical significance, telling a story of such profound dignity and understanding that it as fresh and moving as the day it premiered.
Featuring a largely unknown cast and infused with spirituals, folk songs, blues and jazz (Irving Berlin provided two songs for the production), Hallelujah follows the fortunes of Zeke (Daniel L. Haynes), a poor cotton farmer. He succumbs to the temptations of Chick (Nina Mae McKinney), a mercenary honky-tonk girl, finds salvation in religion, and falls again when his obsession for Chick overpowers his better self. Love, loss, passion, redemption and brilliant moviemaking: Hallelujah has it all.
