This wasn't just a great movie, it helped open up the industry to black actors. Before this movie, black people were rarely seen on screen except as stereotypes. And the song is great too. I have the clip where LuLu sings it on the Ed Sullivan show. x
I thought it was a good movie but I am a fan of Sidney Portier. I haven't seen the movie in years. Maybe I will rent it this weekend.
i saw it when i was in high school.i wanted to move across the ocean .so i could be in lulu and judy geeson's class.
I love this movie! Actually I also like a lot of movies that followed the same formula too. The latest one was Freedom Writers.
Its definitely a good movie.Sidney Poitier as usual was excellent in it.--A sidenote,people like Denzel Washington and Samuel Jackson like so many of current celebs are such poor examples of actors their name should never even be used in the same sentence as Sidney's.They can't even shine Sidneys shoes.
This movie was awesome, I watched it with my roommate a couple months ago on one of the old movie networks.
