Old Copy of "Eliza On Ice"
I have an old home movie copy of "Eliza On Ice" that's missing a few feet at the beginning but is otherwise in excellent shape. Yes, by today's standards this would be definitely offensive because of the several racial stereotypes. The worst, I think, is a scene where black men on a train are using watermelons to stoke the engine. Of course, on the flip side, Eliza (and Mighty Mouse) do win out in the end over the evil slave hunter Simon LeGree, so there's a positive message (of sorts). But I agree that this film will probably never be shown at a film festival. At best, it is important for students of 20th century culture and those who study race and race relations, so in that regard it's important for serious historians. But I liken this film to the old Mammy cookie jars and some of those old salt and pepper shakers of black boys eating watermelon (the pepper came from his head, the detachable watermelon had the salt, I believe). Offensive but, from a historical standpoint, curious.
