Title: Good old movie - Purlie Victorious
Product review: With the recent passing of Ossie Davis, I wanted to see some of his earlier works. As I expected his play, turned into film, was outstanding. He and Ruby Dee were always captivating and it's good to know that their chemistry was there from the start.Supporting characters, such as Alan Alda, were essential to this story line. Though, nowadays, I'd consider Mr. Cambridge's performance a bit bafoonish ... it flowed with the times and tone of the story. His part made for a better "read" than to actually "see" him play the part.Overrall, I'm glad I have it for my collection of black films to pass on to my two sons.
