SOUNDER (Cicely Tyson, Paul Winfield; directed by Martin Ritt)
Review: “It is about growing up, a subject with special appeal to the makers of distinguished motion pictures, and it is about growing up poor, black and dignified, and at a time just enough in the past to carry an aura of modern, but not quite contemporary, history. Even the plot — a kindly father caught stealing food for his hungry family, sentenced to a year at hard labor, a year in which his son comes to terms with himself and learns not to accept his lot—has the feeling of historical demonstration.” —New York Times
Trivia: The Minister is played by an actual minister and the Judge by an actual judge. —wikipedia
