Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Brownskin Models (also known as "Where's My Man To-Nite?"), the 1944 Spencer Williams re-edited World War II (WWII) military black African American melodrama ("The show of shows"; "The way to happiness"; "Where is he?"; "All Star - all colored cast, featuring Irvin C. Miller's 'Brownskin Models'"; "None other like it!"; "Meet your sweetheart"; "Peachy pinups"; "Give an ooh, ah 'n' a coupla wows") starring Georgia Kelly, Hugo Martin, Emmet Jackson, 'Pepper' Neely, Mickey McZekkashing, Clarissa Deary, Myra Hemming, the Brownskin Models, and Peachy Pinups. Note that this film was originally released in 1943 as "Marching On", a serious war melodrama about a black deserter who befriends a hobo who dies and is revealed to be his father missing since WWI, and is then discovered in the desert by his grandfather with whom he happens across a Japanese radio post which they attack. However, in 1944 the distributors inserted new footage of preposterous girlie revue scenes, and marketed it as a fun and sexy musical variety film! The movie has advertising that calls it both "Brownskin Models" and "Where's My Man To-Nite", and both are very deceptive! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
