Rainbow on the River (1936) | Bobby Breen Louise Beavers

[@ninabeattie9335]

Best film iv watched for a long time

[@sammyjo8109]

Why can they not make quality movies like this today? Stunning cast, fantastic music, wonderful acting by all. I think I'll sit here and watch it again. Thank you reelblack for making this available.

[@Lisa1111]

Why? Unfortunately a kids friend anymore is their cell phone.

[@RayPointerChannel]

They can't make movies like this today is a complicate explanation. Basically, the public today does not appreciate things of high culture. They have been conditioned by mainstream popular culture that has questionable artistic worth. You have so-called singers who do not sing, but rant, ramble, and rave. And others who are called singers are tone deaf and can't sing in tune or hit notes accurately. The public and the industry has become so jaded, brainwashed, and corrupted by trash paraded before the public as "art." Fortunately we have a film legacy that survives as examples of quality that shows how it was done well. Hopefully these examples may inspire others to raise the current standards that have been allowed to fall due to tasteless executives who are responsible for the state of the industry today.

"Every little pickaninny"? 6:55 I have a question that is far more interesting than yours

[@user-fl3lt8fr6u]

Bobby Breen was such a talent. More people need to be aware of his movies. Unfortunately he didn’t have a major studio publicity department behind him like other young stars of his era. Thanks to KZbin or I would have never known about this talented young man. My father saw his movies as a boy, and even got his autograph later on when he was an adult.

[@garymazzeo3490]

Heart warming film.😀

[@jorgemoreno8942]

Oh boy Bobby was wonderful and had a beautiful voice.... I love Eddie Anderson and Louise Beavers too, this movie is a gem..... Made 85 years ago wow.....

[@andrewdoggette4494]

We will always love Bobby Breen. He was a very happy child. And so were we.

[@theviolingeek]

This is part of our history! Great movie! Excellent singing!

[@ertfgghhhh]

Thanks! These movies remind me of sat and sun afternoons in the 70s an d 80s (im in my 40s)

[@Mysasser1]

Same! Fresh to the 40+ gang in December via 1978.

[@angelasmith3967]

Yea, and I'm in my 50s.

[@jamalgadson2541]

Im 42. 1977 baby

[@adagramble8499]

It's just something about old movies I love looking at them, its funny that it was before my time

[@ertfgghhhh]

@@adagramble8499 why is that?

[@susanrussell1555]

Another Bobby Breen classic. Loved this delightful movie. Thanks.

[@kiajulian4619]

I watched the ending over and over. Loved this movie!

[@thomasday9902]

My late fathers all time favourite film what a voice that boy had!!!

[@punkanellylovejoy702]

I'm sure it was his favorite, it's racist AF

[@JAVIER94050]

reelblack... I really love ❤ these kind of films. Beautiful classics, For me and for many others these movies are the best, There's no violence or harsh violence on them. I'm from *México. Thank you very much for sharing these beautiful classics, God Bless. ❤ 🕊

[@sarahdeason493]

The Sweetest Movie Ever ❤❤❤

[@emmanuelscott5804]

In a time when racism and draconic laws plagued black people amongst many other factors involving JIM CROW I think it's worthy to mention the compassionate and just character that was played by the young white lad. His personna is such a GEM ✌🏾

[@kimjohnson8471]

The singing is wonderful.

[@deborahjohnson1441]

I remember seeing this movie in grade school, probably fourth grade in the late 70s. I just wanted to see if it was still around and found it here. Thanks for the upload.

[@Marie-do1il]

all i heard was 'if you keep Running Around in that Sun you gone be Black As A Indian'. A phrase never to be heard in 2019.

[@kimjohnson8471]

😂

[@mingoismmingoism7226]

Because we so called blacks are the original indigenous American Indians. our identity has been stolen.

[@Shahmar]

Look at the pics of Natives pre 1950's lmao Gad of the Nation of Israel.

[@aishah5244]

I thought she said "idiot"

[@TheUpwardbound1]

That song is actually bit bit deeper under the surface. "Black as an Indian" that's because the first Indians in this land were black skinned its talked about all through out history. Alot of us are more native than any other immigrant in this country! We need to fight to stop being called African Americans as if we migrated here! We are native Americans! Foundational Americans!

[@geoben1810]

Thanks Reelblack for bringing to light black participation and contribution to the flim arts that was never taught in school while I was growing up in the 60s. 👍✌

[@sandramorris420]

Love soft spoken Louise Beavers, I remember her from the first Imitation Of Life 1934, Matthew Beard (Stymie) from Our Gang and Eddie “Rochester” Anderson from movies /The Jack Benny Show as his sidekick. All three actors were great!!!, I cannot forget The Singing Johnson Family, blood family!

[@anthonykelly9585]

Stymie,can make eggs talk

[@elijahvincent985]

She was an on-screen and off-screen sweetheart! Louise Beavers' kindness was plain to see. I also love her performance in "Holiday Inn" with the two kids!!! She was so cute in that!!!

[@Mysasser1]

Don't ever upload this late again. Just finishing the movie and I'm feeling all over the place LOL. Thanks again!

[@paulcaron400]

There so many wonderful black performers back then but they still experienced prejudice like having to enter or leaving through the back door. So unfair. I loved Hattie McDaniel how she would sass back, she was beautiful 🥰

[@sharonroe8818]

Yes, it's sad to think of what they endured but they got their foot in the door and all of the black actors that came after owe them a huge debt of gratitude. It's to bad that movies like this could not be made today. heartwarming, inspirational and moving.

[@paulcaron400]

@@sharonroe8818 WOW!!! You understand and are so right, thank you 💜

[@gerberjoanne266]

I heard that, when Hattie McDaniel was criticized in later years for accepting so many stereotypical roles as maids, she responded: "I can *play* a maid, or I can *be* a maid." Sad commentary on the times, but what a witty answer!

[@RayPointerChannel]

@@gerberjoanne266 What Hattie McDaniel said was, "In Hollywood I've got two choices. I can be a maid at $2.00 a week, or play a maid at $200.00 a week.

[@audreymaize]

Movies like these allows us to see the past so we may dare not repeat the actions today.

[@paulcaron400]

Louise Beavers too💫

[@BrinaDoc]

Thanks For Sharing ✊🏽❤️

[@ertfgghhhh]

@@susangialano1145 trolling black channels and stirring up drama will get YOU sent to hell. Gaslighting will get YOU sent to hell. Continuing the spreading of hatred by denying the past will send YOU to hell. Not knowing the difference between " to, too, two" will send *YOU* back to the 2nd grade.

[@tpw9099]

Both of you are the reason we still Have racism!! U all Can’t just stop Fighting is Ridiculous how the he k Are we to move forward and grow if everyone keeps living in the past! We can See the truth we all know The truth, but when u can’t stop Fighting people about it…. The Train just stops causing more anger and no one wants to heat the truth it gets old!!!!!!!

[@cmorestuff898]

Hello, Brother Garry. I was just telling Mike D. about another young singer appearing in films during this era with the same initials and a similar voice by the name of Bobby Brooks. We may provide a clip of the young Brooks in the near future. As always, thanks for your support. Peace and Blessings!!!

[@wandafoxx3097]

Pleasant Movie. Cabin In The Sky would be nice also

[@MsAppassionata]

This is not a pleasant movie. They use a number of racial epithets, talk about low down stingy yankees and name the black kid Jefferson Davis Stonewall Jackson Lillybell Jones, not to mention the black as an Indian comment. I don’t think so.

[@eliyahuavraham8243]

Bobby Breen can be seen on Our Gang series.

[@monicarwells2]

I absolutely love watching Louise. Man I could find “The Beulah show “ episodes with her and not Hattie. I gotta warm up to Hattie as I am unfamiliar with her work . I know yall🤦🏽‍♀️I shouldn’t be unfamiliar but I am .

[@kimjohnson8471]

Stymie!😀

[@elgato894]

AT 9 Y/O AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC AND I DO SAY SO MYSELF...

And a granny comes through again! 🤗♥️

[@sandramorris420]

Eddie “Rochester” Anderson was uncredited, still a great actor!

[@KeeperOfThe10]

No. He's listed twice. He's second to last in the end credits and 6th in the opening credits.

[@hidinginsight1879]

Yes, there are so many non-PC things here, but somehow it worked and I cried at the end for all the right reasons.👍👍✌🎵🎶🎼📽🎬

@Anthony Kelly, you got that right!!!

[@waltergeldof4923]

A very Impressive film from the old days of Slavery and all those people who were humiliated and discriminated against by all the Regimer. But nice and nice to see bobby Breen { this very young actor and singer } raise the upper hand against all the Regiem !!!!!!

[@mayboo9368]

I enjoyed tht

[@angelrussell750]

The boy reminds me of Oliver Twist.

[@bairesco]

♥️♥️🌷🌷💥💥👏👏

[@kiajulian4619]

I had no idea there was a movie like this. Toinette was the Breen characters "mother" and her love for the people that enslaved her was tragic. . but many former slaves felt that way. Weird tho that the boy had no problem with just picking up and leaving her when he loved her so. And there was no scene of their parting. Otherwise well written. Also, a sign of the times back then-- that Louise Beaver's -- who was obviously the star of the movie....got 4th or 5th billing. Poignant and well acted with beautiful music by Green and the Hall Johnson Choir.

[@gerberjoanne266]

I don't think the boy had no problem leaving her. He was clearly sad, but felt he had no choice in the matter, which was true.

[@gerberjoanne266]

I wonder: Did many slaves feel that way? Or was that a case of over-romanticizing of the South. The fact that the black characters in the film didn't like the Yankees struck me as a bit of a stretch.

[@edelgyn2699]

Celine's (Lilian Yarbo) advice to save your worrying for Thursdays is useful - you don't get that level of practicality from Oprah!

[@RobJusticethelegend]

Forgive me but that woman looks just like Lizzo

[@Mysasser1]

She does!

[@MrMcjay88]

Yeah Lol !

[@aishah5244]

The reason why I clicked on! I wanted to see the resemblance

[@TheUpwardbound1]

I know and there is a reason behind that. Not hating on Lizzo but white America likes to push this big mamie masculine type as our standard of beauty. They will give women like this the bag all day long laughing the whole way. Look at all the female talk shows they usually have a very unattractive and overweight black masculine female sitting amongst femine non obese non black women. This makes them feel comfortable. Put an equally feminine in shape black woman there and it takes their shine. Everything done in the media is strategic. Why do you think all this gutter trash and buffoonery is rewarded in black music and all genre. You can talk 100x crazy about blacks with n**ga this and n**ga that b*tch this and I kill 50 n**gas that but let one thing even a positive thing be said about another race and their is an uproar. I think one rapper literally said he wanted to be rich like the Jews or something of that nature and was almost shut down for that one microscopic comment. Quit falling for the bullshit family!

[@TheUpwardbound1]

@Kwum aix yeah bro Sheryl Underwood is an exellent example. Literally looks like if Wesley Snipes gained weight and put red lipstick and a wig on! The b*tch even put black hair on blast on national tv. All the other white women were talking about how they save their babies hair. Sheryl chimes in talking about not black people we dont save our babies hair because its nappy! Not that it even matters but none of our babies hair is coarse when they are born but even if it was it's still our children and we would proudly save it. She later went on to cry and apologize because there was some outrage and she could have lost her job. You can look it up and see exactly what iam talking about bro. Black men we truly are our brother keeper. Even our women "so called queens" disrespect us and help them criminalize us! Look how Oprah is trying to help destroy our great entertainers legacy's while she skips over a 1000 white men even the ones she's all hugged up with like Harvey Weinstein not a peep! She is just one of many examples. Look at some of these swirling channels and you might throw up after watching the videos and reading the comments of so called black women dogging us beyond anything I could have ever imagined while in the same breath pushing sucking off white d* literally! One black b*tch even said I would rather a be a white mans whore than a black mans wife! I shit you not man. We are in a sad sad state bro and it's getting worse.

[@7DOLLABEATS]

@@reelblack awww man Last time I saw it was 2011 in netflix before they cleaned up all the 1930-50s movies 😫😫

[@reelblack]

It might be on KZbin. My rule of thumb is if it’s readily available and/or not in the public domain, it’s not worth the energy to upload it. You definitely can pay to stream it or buy the DVD. Disney just bought Fox. Hopefully Disney will put it on their new subscription platform.

if you die today will you go to heaven? Have you ever lied, stolen, hated, used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? According to God's law, you're guilty, your headed for hell, ignorance will not be an excuse... But wait, God loves you, he made a way out for you, God's son Jesus died paying for your sin. God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please think about your eternal life, believe and repent, Love Y'all
