Warner Home Video wisely places an opening disclaimer on this old chestnut, acknowledging that the portrayal of blacks is of its own time and inevitably reflects some outdated racial stereotypes.

The spiritual-style music is also first-rate, with two songs contributed by Irving Berlin. Like the title says: "Hallelujah!"
