Description

Cabin in the Sky was an auspicious directorial debut for the young Vincente Minnelli and provided Lena Horne and Ethel Waters with an excellent showcase for their considerable talents. Musical legends also featured in this classic movie are Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and the Hall Johnson Choir. The film is often criticized for what is currently regarded as stereotypical characteristics -- a weakness for gambling, a childish world view, oversimplified religious beliefs -- but overall Minnelli treats the story as a simple folktale.
