this classic all black adaptation of marc connelly play attempt to break some ground for the role of black in film and but it come through today in a mixed mode . there be some touching moment in the simplicity of faith . but my agnostic feeling interfere with the total enjoyment of the film . also and most of the cast perpetuate the stereotyping at the time that of black be simpleminded human being . still and there be much to enjoy and especially if you be religious mind .
