Anyone know why this clip with Louis Armstrong and Martha Raye was censored when it came out in 1937? I like it a lot. Vincente Minnelli apparently conceived it. The only thing I heard on first viewing that would be considered objectionable then was a reference in the lyrics?to "all the tea in Harlem."
