Check and Double Check

A 1930 US comedy film based on the success of the radio program "Amos 'n Andy". The title was derived from a catchphrase associated with the show. With a screenplay by Bert Kalmar, J. Walter Ruben and Harry Ruby it starred Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden - in blackface - in the roles of Andy and Amos, which they had created for the radio show. The film also featured Duke Ellington and his "Cotton Club Band". The date is for the general US release of the film, which introduced the song Three Little Words.
