norman and be that you . be ( this be all third hand and so take it with a grain of salt ) adapt to an african american family from a jewish one and when it make the transition off stage and onto screen . also and it be one of those movie originally film in video and so the print from the theater can not have be that great . still and performance by redd foxx and others be pretty good . what i want to tell you all be that the movie be a period piece represent it reflect the attitude in the mid to early 70 about find out you have a gay son or daughter in your family . for that reason alone and it pretty interest if not a little hollywood . don not believe me . check out line about curtain and etc . very stereotypical . not too deep . but . the movie really shin in a couple of area . there be a side split scene when redd foxx be try to find his wife and who run away with his brother ( . ) to ensenada in a soup up pinto . the phone conversation across the border be really memorable . but . the best scene in the movie be when wayland flower and madame do his or their gay routine that he use to do in gay bar and nightclub . to the best of my knowledge and this be the only time that routine be film . and and it a slightly clean up and much short version and i be tell . still and it vintage madame and and shouldn not be miss . people be still steal line from wayland while the man be truly gifted . enjoy the movie .
