Vincente Minnelli’s debut film, featuring a host of black talent of the time (Eddie Anderson, Lena Horne, Rex Ingram, Ethel Waters, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and others). Marred slightly by the cut of the “Ain’t It the Truth” number (originally performed by Lena Horne in a bubble bath and reprised by Louis Armstrong later in the film), but the spirited performances of “Taking a Chance on Love” and “Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe” more than make up for this.

Synopsis:
Chronic gambler and carouser “Little” Joe Jackson is shot by Domino Johnson at Jim Henry’s gambling club over an outstanding gambling debt. Little Joe’s wife, the God-fearing Petunia Jackson, prays not only for her husband’s mortal life, but also his eternal soul as she’s afraid that if he dies now, he, despite not being an evil man, won’t make it into heaven. As Little Joe is close to death, he is visited by agents of both the Lord and of Lucifer. They make a deal with him: they will give him six months to atone for the errors of his human life. Once back on Earth, he won’t remember the deal but both the Lord and Lucifer will be watching over him, trying to get him to see things their way. As both sides try to get Little Joe’s soul, they figure that some of the most powerful tools they have at their disposal are the women in Little Joe’s life: Petunia on behalf of the Lord, and Georgia Brown, a gold-digging floozy, on behalf of Lucifer. As hard as both the Lord and Lucifer try to get Little Joe on their side, they don’t factor into the equation human judgment, which turns some of their work against them.
