Check and Double Check (1930) | Full Length Classic Film

Watch the full-length classic film Check and Double Check (1930).

Check and Double Check is a 1930 American pre-Code comedy film produced and released by RKO Radio Pictures, based on the Amos 'n' Andy radio show. The title was derived from a catchphrase associated with the show. Directed by Melville W. Brown, from a screenplay by Bert Kalmar, J. Walter Ruben, and Harry Ruby, it starred Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll in blackface, in the roles of Amos Jones and Andy Brown, respectively, which they had created for the radio show. The film also featured Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club Orchestra.

In 1958, the film entered the public domain in the United States because the claimants did not renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after publication. Because of the film's copyright-free status, film merchants copied C&C Television prints of Check and Double Check for the home-movie market, and later for home video. Because Check and Double Check is no longer exhibited in public, fans of Gosden and Correll can only see the film in private showings.
