CGiii Comment

A well-researched and interesting film, marred by some truly abysmal narration.
 
It's a cryin' shame - but, really, that voice has no inflection...a monotonal barbiturate that would send the most excitable person straight right into a profound coma.

The(ir) Blurb...

Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter and Ethel Waters were among the biggest blues singers of their day. Their nights, however, belonged to them--and the ladies they shared them with.
