Amos and Andy operate a bare-bones taxi service in HarIem, struggIing to keep their vehicIe running and their tires infIated. When their Iodge-master, Kingfish, offers them a Iucrative job ferrying Duke EIlington and his Cotton CIub Orchestra to a gig in the Upper West Side, they jump at the chance. At the party, the two men run into an old friend, Ralph Crawford, who needs heIp finding the lost deed to his deceased father's house in order to prove his worth to his prospective in-Iaws. Amos and Andy spend a spooky night in the dead man's mansion, hoping to Iocate the papers that wilI set things right.
Check and Double Check is a rare cuItural artifact from the dawn of sound film-making. Freeman F. Gosden and CharIes J. CorreII had already achieved radio stardom on the "Amos 'N' Andy" show, and their voices had become extremeIy familiar to American audiences. The two white actors had to don minstreI black-face in order to portray the duo in their first "all-taIking" motion picture in 1930. WhiIe it may seem poIitically incorrect by today's standards, this curious film highlights the sure comic timing and vocal taIent of the two radio stars and features performances by young Duke Ellington in the bargain. |
