Rufus Jones For President (1933) starring Ethel Waters, Hamtree Harrington, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dusty Fletcher, Edgar Connor, The Will Vodery Girls, The Russell Wooding Jubilee Singers.
A very stereotypical Hollywood musical. This film starts with a 7-year-old Sammy Davis in the arms of Ethel Waters, being told that he could be president one day. He falls asleep and dreams of being president.
“Plenty of singing and dancing with lots of stereotypical dialect and scenes like, Vote for Rufus Jones for president and get two pork chops,”” or scenes of dice-playing in Congress or every one walking around holding a pork chop. — Larry Richards
