36:53 Genius. No other word for it. Physical genius. He was 54 years old when he did this. Imagine him in his younger days and it boggles the mind what he must've been like.

Remus A. Johnson is written on the door, almost foreshadowing Basketts most known role

Superb !

[@vanessaclark3443]

This is so great!

[@creswellformey7654]

Damn, Baskett really aged rapidly between this and SONG OF THE SOUTH.

[@reelblack]

Makeup. Did you see our Uncle Remus at the Oscars video

[@creswellformey7654]

reelblack He looked old at the Oscars, too, though! I’m not sure if I’ve seen your video. Probably so!

[@reelblack]

That’s true. His hair was Snow White, but he wasn’t like Remus. He was very sick. He died a few months after accepting the award.

[@creswellformey7654]

reelblack I caught that on Wiki. 44?!?? Sheesh.

If you can't find heaven on this plane, then you are not living life as you should. Heaven and Hell exist only here.

@@bealambwouldya Oh yeah, born in 1878, you're right.

[@tailor-mademedia1406]

"Mr. Johnson"? Could it be a reference to "Bumpy Johnson"? One never knows. Do one?

[@moldyoldie7888]

A nice tip-of-the-hat to Fats Waller.
