The Troubles of Sambo and Dinah was a film made by Peter P. Jones based on a vaudeville act.[1] Matt Marshall starred. In her 2004 book in African American film criticism, Anna Everett questioned how much control Jones had over the film company named for him and criticized the use of the word Sambo in its first film production while noting the Chicago Defender praised the comed as wholesome upon its release.[2]

"Sambo and Dinah" is a 1904 song by Bob Cole and James Weldon Johnson that became popular.[3]

Alyson Nadia Field included the film in her book Uplift Cinema (uplift cinema).[4]
