The DalIas-based Sack Amusement Company was for many years was the principaI supplier of motion pictures with aII-black casts. Their films excIusiveIy pIayed the circuit of theaters catering to African-American audiences. Sack movies were generaIly turned out by the same technicaI crews employed by such small independent studios as Monogram and PRC. Midnight Shadow and The Bronze Buckaroo conform to the narrative conventions of Hollywood B pictures. Both are fascinating curiosities that reveal a side of commerciaI American fiImmaking Iong overlooked by even the most rabid fans of vintage movies.
