Beware (1946): cast, story & where to watch

1946 · Film · ★ 5

Released in 1946, Beware is a notable film directed by Bud Pollard, running about 54 minutes. “Starring in his first feature-length, ALL COLORED, fun-packed musical screen show!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Ware College is a small Black college in Ware, Ohio. Once prominent, it is now low in attendance, low in enrollment and low on money; and at a meeting with instructors Drury and Annabelle Brown, Dean Hargreaves reveals that CEO Benjamin Ware III, grandson of the college's founder, claims the estate of his late grandfather is now also destitute, which they believe is untrue and a result of Annabelle's having spurned his affections. They decide to appeal to their famous alumni for financial help thru a reunion, and invitations are sent. Many could help; but surely not Lucius Jordan, a timid lad who loved Annabelle too but dropped out under pressure from Ware. What they don't know is, he's now Louis Jordan, king of swing and leader of the Tympani Band.

Who’s in it. Beware stars Louis Jordan as Lucius Brokenshire 'Louis' Jordan, Frank L. Wilson as Prof. Drury, Emory Richardson as Dean Hargreaves and Valerie Black as Annabelle Brown, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Beware has proved divisive with audiences.
