5 Stars A Rare Piece!
Waited a long time for this one! Cover design on box is really bad abnnd they should have used the wonderful original poster design. The print is in really bad shape, alot os scratches and sound jumps, but it is alot of fun to watch. No extras and the box was all torn on the copy I paid for.
1 Star Film didn’t pass, really flunked.
This film had every chance in the world to make a meaningful statement about racial prejudice and threw each one away. Sonja Wilde’s part, where she is obviously white or pale, is not very believable when she tells an employer she is black so she can’t get a job. James Franciscus overacts as her racist husband, but his script is at fault. The story needed some compelling event where she could admit she was part black and he could try to accept it (ex. the baby lived and resembled him as the real father) but instead he only rants and raves that she shouldn’t socialize with black people. A bit too long where our bride must lie about her black parents with no DVD extras to relieve the tedium.
2 Stars Fine film but Terrible Print.
Having waited many years to see this film, I was anticipating a great quality DVD print for the price. Imagine my surprise when I sat down to enjoy it for the first time and noticed scratches and tears (think the opening credits of John Cassavete’s Johnny Staccato. The full frame format makes it impossible to read the credits without losing half of the
names.
You would think such a rare gem as this would deserve to be remastered and preserved.
Having said that. Sonia Wilde and James Franciscus give excellent perormances and the supporting cast are fine.
5 Stars Interracial Marriage in Pre-civil Rights Days
I saw this movie 47 years ago when I was age 7. It is memorable and is an early attempt to show the injustice created by a society which insists races cannot mix. Not only do I remember scenes from the movie, but I remember the tears running down my mother’s face as the movie concluded with a predicable end. I have long awaited the release of this movie. I will soon see it for the second time after 47 years!

5 Stars Best investment I’ve ever made in classes!
I spent $158 for a community college watercolor course and was so disapponted because I expected the quality of the watercolor classes to be similar to Frank Clarke - they weren’t and from now on I’m investing my money in Frank Clarke’s lessons. He is a true teacher. I bring the videos over to my children’s home and we spend a wonderful Sunday afternoons creating beautiful paintings having our own watercolor workshop with Frank Clarke. G-d sure knew what G-d was doing when G-d created Frank Clarke!!! Thank you so much Mr. Clarke - you are the BEST teacher by far.
