    It seems that even in 1934 doing blackface routines were so out of the main stream that they wouldn't include them in trailer to the movie.  Notice that the sequence 'Going to heaven on a Mule"', an idea by Al Jolson, was referred to but not shown. I wonder why Jolson persisted on doing black face so long?

    The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls (2009)

    If you see only one documentary about lesbian, country-singing, comedian twins from New Zealand, make this the one! Jools and Linda Topp have become phenomenally successful among the Kiwis for the sprightly combination of comical characters and catchy ditties, and this exuberant film captures the joy they bring both to their performance and to their daily lives. If you aren't already a Topp Twins fans, you'll be one by the end of this delightful doc.
