Five stars for the overall quality of the film especially considering when it was made. Unfortuately helped support America's racist era by bolstering every negative stereotype of African-Americans. Not saying you shouldn't view it just keep in mind that it is "Jim Crow" propaganda.

It is a monumentally important film in cinematic history, and in the context of the time it is a groundbreaking work of genius.

Even today, almost a century after its making, it retains considerable power to entertain and compel.

Unfortunately, it is also an unabashedly vicious piece of racism, in places so vile that it would make modern Klansmen blanch.
