This film has a black waiter seeming to displease a colonial white customer who is wearing a pith helmet. The waiter is brutally attacked on a number of occasions in comedic fashion with special effects and editing allowing a dummy to be attacked whilst appearing to be the real waiter.
It is unfortunate that the waiter is clearly a 'blacked up' stereotype. A white actor wearing black make-up and wearing clothes which put together with his role of waiter and receiving brutal treatment from his white overlord give a bit of a bad taste of racial stereotyping. However, there is no sound and no action is shown from the waiter that could be described as negative. If anything, the customer is the one shown negatively. At the end they embrace and laugh. This film is crude and of its time but I do not find it particularly offensive. The racial elements do lower its quality in my eyes though.
Technically the effects of using a dummy and editing it with the real waiter are good for the time so this film has some artistic quality but the narrative itself is quite weak. An attack on a deserving or antagonistic character would be more appealing. The attacks on the waiter are quite inexplicable.
