I saw this movie on TV many times as a child, and everytime I saw it I would cry at the end. I have read other reviews about how the movie is dated and "politically incorrect", c'mon people this movie was made decades ago, and for it's time, it was and is dynamite, I will always remember the scene at the end where, the maid has literally died of a broken heart,'cause her daughter has rejected her. There is a funeral procession led by beautiful white horses, and Mahalia Jackson is singing at the Funeral , and the Maid's daughter running behind the funeral procession, screaming "Mama, I'm sorry!". This movie is my absolute all time favorite.
