Paul Robeson gives one of his greatest film performances in this arty, dated, but interesting 1933 adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's play.

Chicago Reader
The result, to my amazement, was an unexciting and indifferent motion picture.

Robeson's powerful presence, particularly through his wonderful, mellifluous voice, dominates each scene.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The murderous Brutus Jones escapes from jail and bluffs his way to becoming the emperor of a Caribbean island. Based on Eugene O'Neill's Expressionistic play, the film stars Paul Robeson in the role he played on the Broadway stage. Brutus Jones is an unforgettable character, and The Emperor Jones is an American classic!
