(1929)는 로 유명한 감독의 MGM 뮤지컬 영화이다. 는 메이저 영화사에서 제작된 최초의 올 블랙 캐스트로 구성된 유성 뮤지컬 영화로써 이러한 메이저 영화사의 제작의지는 상업영화에서 좋은 선례가 되었다. 하지만 당시 일반적인 관중들을 고려했을때 이러한 시도는 매우 위험하게 취급되어 자신의 수입을 제작에 투입하는 것이 요구되었다. 에서 보여주고 있는 아프리카계 미국인을 주제로 한 정직한 표현들은 1915년 에서 보여줬던 두려움과 인종차별주의에 대하여 예리한 대조를 이루고 있다. 감독은 아카데미 최우수 감독상에 노미네이트 되기도 하였고 영혼의 음악들과 신나는 뮤지컬 시퀀스로 가득한 는 역사에 남을 매력적인 드라마라고 할 수 있다.
