Dixie (1943)

Dixie is a 1943 American biographical film of composer and songwriter Daniel Decatur Emmett directed by A. Edward Sutherland and starring Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Filmed in Technicolor, Dixie was a box-office hit, and introduced one of Crosby's most popular songs, "Sunday, Monday, or Always". Critical reception to the film was mixed, however. Dixie contains depictions that would be offensive to 21st century audiences – most notably, Crosby's performance in blackface for several musical numbers. The film is now owned by Universal Studios, Inc., which does not make it available for purchase or streaming.
