Cabin in the Sky (1943)
I really dug this one. I do have a soft spot for older films with all Black casts partially because there are so few of them. I also enjoy Faustian tales, though I really feel for the long-suffering spouses in such tales, played with particular dedication by Ethel Waters in this iteration. My favorite part may be the depictions of Lucifer and his minions. They seem to take special joy in their roles here.
