Jungle Jitters (1938)

Warner Bros. tackles the tough issues of Inter-Racial affairs for the first time since Shakespeare . . .

. . . scribbled out OTHELLO with his quill pens. If Ted Turner and his then-spouse "Hanoi Jane" Fonda had decided to get smashed on six pitchers of Mint Juleps and while away an evening Red-Lining the works of "The Bard," no doubt OTHELLO would have appeared on their Shakespearian "Censored Eleven" Blacklist. Nowadays the rest of Hollywood is just catching up to the Warner Bros. savants of the 1930s, with such recent releases as LOVING. However, all is NOT "sweetness and light" in such affairs, as Nicole Brown Simpson learned to her dismay. Sometimes even innocent bystanders such as busboy Ron Goldman get caught up in such incidents of BIRTH OF A NATION-like rage. Warner Bros. suggests that the products or legacies of such pairings constitute the proverbial "Fate Worse Than Death" to many if not most Americans in their right minds. (If you're not with Warner's program, watch GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER and you'll see that it's the Black Mailman Dad who is the most cognizant of this fact.) No matter how much the Bleeding Heart Liberals want to condemn the Nicoles and Rons of Modern America to tragic demises in order to satisfy their delusion that we all live in a world of Unicorns and friendly Dragons, Warner Bros. was, is, and always will be in the forefront of sharing a frank, unblinking view of Reality with America, no matter how many pitchers of booze Ted and Jane chug down.
