Maybe I was just in a bad mood. I sat through it because I had just had my eyes dilated and couldn't do anything much except watch tv. Maybe there was some other reason. I don't pretend to be an avid fan of political correctness.
But the countless scenes of Willie Best literally shaking in his shoes when no one else was afraid of the so-called ghost really got to me for their blatant racism.

But because he was the only Black in the movie, and because we had to sit through him quaking over and over again, it really got to me.
