Stand Up and Cheer!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stand Up and Cheer! is a 1934 motion picture about the Depression Era in the United States, and the efforts undertaken to boost the morale of the citizenry.
The film has come under criticism in recent years due to racially offensive stereotypes used in the film. Also, it is often marketed as a Shirley Temple motion picture; in reality, the child star played a minor role in the film.
Most of the racist content has been edited out in recent versions of the film.
