Warner Archives - Cabin in the Sky [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC]

Hollywood's first all-black film since The Green Pastures tells the vibrant fable of rascally little Joe, torn between the love of his good wife Petunia and the wiles of good-time bad-girl georgia brown and caught in a tug-of-war between emissaries from the lord and satan. How can virtue triumph over evil? Well, as Petunia says, sometimes when you fight the devil, you gotta jab him with his pitchfork. Debuting movie director Vincent Minnelli (an American in Paris, Gigi) and stars Ethel Waters, Eddie Rochester Anderson, Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington are more than a match for the devil in this musical treasure. With a soundtrack of dazzling standards, including taking a chance on love and happiness is a thing called Joe, A Cabin in the Sky is a joyous classic.
