[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 416727, member: 5079"] SONG OF THE SOUTH (1946) I practically felt guilty hitting "play" on this one, given its reputation. I would have sworn I saw this movie as a kid, but not a single memory was sparked. I didn't like the movie [B]at all[/B], but not for any reason I might have suspected. The film's portrayal of race, far from ideal, was also less awful than I expected given that the film is hidden away. Mostly, I just found the movie to be dull treacle. One catchy tune isn't much to build a movie around. This is the fakest of Old Hollywood artifice -- nostalgia for a time that never existed. Everyone in the movie smiled to such excess, I found myself wondering how much their faces must have hurt at the end of filming. Even the animated sequences were more noisy than funny, but then Disney's cartoon shorts of the day were never as good as those made by Warner Brothers or MGM.
