Big Fella (1937)

12/3/06

Watched the other film on the Paul Robeson set, though the DVD scrambled for the last seven minutes so I can only surmise how it ended. Big Fella (1937) concerns Robeson, now playing a French doc worker as opposed to the English one he started out as in the other film, who builds a fatherly relationship with a run away English boy, whom he tries to reunite with his rich parents (the boys not Robeson's). Elisabeth Welch (1904-2003) again plays Robesons love intrest, and both get to sing some nice songs. This movie was marketed as a family picture.
