That sort of so-called Negro dialect, said Actress Pearl (Bess) Bailey, is "undignified and unnatural. I don't care if it's Negro or Italian or Greek or French; it's in bad taste." Producer Goldwyn and Director Otto Preminger willingly told the Negro performers to leave out anything they did not like.
