Star of the Month Paul Robeson’s film debut came in a dual role in BODY AND SOUL (‘25), a silent “race film” written and directed by pioneering Black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux. Demonstrating his screen potential as both villain and hero, Robeson plays a scheming convict who poses as a preacher, as well as his more sympathetic twin brother. See it tomorrow night as we kick off our Star of the Month salute to Robeson at 8pm ET. https://myt.cm/SOTMPaulRobeson | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
