Two Gun Man From Harlem
(1938) Written directed by Richard C. Kahn; with Herb JeffriesMargaret Whitten, Clarence Brooks, Mantan Morelandand Spencer Williams. An honest singing cowboy is framed for murder by a two-timing brass-bound witch of ranch woman. It's actually a charming little horse opera, with some interesting twists & turns, and Jeffries gets to play a dual role when he masquerades as a mean-as-a-snake mobster. Adding to the charm are some scenes that should have been chalked up as rehearsals -- but the budget was so low that if nobody fell flat on their faces, it was a take. Only three musical numbers, but they're good ones -- a ballad (& a half) from Jeffries, plus a rhythm number and a harmony piece during the Harlem scenes.
