Dixie Madcaps

1918 Comedy
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

As the name suggests, this two-reeler contains racial stereotypes common in its day (the Teens) but which are offensive to modern sensibilities. With vaudevillians Jane and Catherine Lee and a large African-American cast.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from vaudeville routines and situational humor, relying on the ensemble work of a large cast. It plays as a series of revue sketches, propelled by physical antics and musical interludes.

What lingers after the final reel is the stark contrast between its period sensibilities and modern views. Those who tire of simplistic historical revisionism may find a crude, unvarnished artifact of early screen entertainment. — MovieFinder Editorial
