But they messed up and sent me another film with the same title ("Amazing Grace"). It had Moms Mabley and Steppin Fetchit and Butterfly McQueen. Total camp. But I didn't watch it b/c I couldn't understand a word Moms Mabley said, it sounded like she'd been smoking cigarettes for 100 years and her dentures weren't in all the way.
