...Westerns. Race movies were counterfeit white movies - faux-ofay. And though the producers surely didn't intend to offend their customers, black-cast pictures flaunted racial stereotypes: idle bucks spending the rent money on dice games and numbers policies, and the women who love them. In the 1939 "Moon Over Harlem," directed by B-movie cult fave Edgar G. Ulmer and written by his wife Shirley, a brassy woman at a wedding reception announces, "When I get married again, I'm gonna marry me a real high-yaller.
