CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK

Cinemavixion Review

"Check and Double Check," released in 1930, represents a unique cinematic moment as the sole film appearance of the beloved radio characters Amos 'n Andy. Directed by Melville W. Brown, the film centers on the duo's comedic endeavors to establish an "open-air" taxi business, which inevitably leads them into a societal entanglement involving transporting musicians to an exclusive party. The narrative faithfully incorporates all the familiar characters and references, including the celebrated Mystic Knights of the Sea, ensuring a treat for fans of the original radio show. While the film may not have garnered significant awards or widespread critical acclaim in its time, its historical significance as a bridge between radio and film entertainment makes it a noteworthy piece of early 20th-century popular culture. Despite a modest IMDb rating, the film offers a glimpse into the enduring appeal of Amos 'n Andy and their distinctive brand of humor.
