race in Hollywood

It's 1942 Hollywood. Mignon Dupree (Lonette McKee) is a pale-skinned negro trying to make her way in the studio system and passing in most situations.

This is a low budget black and white indie short. This is the 80's trying to do the 40's. I start off with some hope. It seems like an interesting behind-the-scenes takedown of the studio system. Then it ends with an undeserved overwrought performance waving the race card. It's too big. For most of this, it seems to get the tone right. Any subtlety goes out the window at a certain point. I don't mind the others making it about race. She should take the high road and make it about the work.
