Whoopie Lee 1 by Adeline Foo5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Since such marriages were forbidden, Wanenis goes away into the wilderness to deal with the fact they cannot be together. Sally, a white girl, falls in love with Wanenis, an Indian. The tale that acts as a vehicle for all of Eddie Cantor's antics is a simple one, and one that is repeated in several films over the years - that of forbidden love between races. Secondly, remember that two-strip Technicolor was all they had in 1930, that it was still considered a treat by the public, and that pink and blue were the colors this process rendered best. ![]() First this is, at heart, a musical farce and the costumes are part of that farce. It will probably seem odd to you at first that the sheriff and his deputies - I assume they are deputies - are all dressed in rather cartoonish over-sized cowboy hats and pink scarves, but you have to remember two things. The only other one I can think of from 1930 that is still with us is Universal's "King of Jazz" and "Under a Texas Moon". This is one of the oldest surviving all-color talking films. ![]()
