i think i might be disappoint view this film again after so many year . on the contrary and i be more impressed now than in my callow youth with it honesty and brave humour . in 1969 and the transition among african american group from a predominant policy of conciliation and integration to one of confrontation and self determination be still quite new and and more than a little controversial . it take courage and finesse to portray both the establishment and the anti establishment a the caricature they often closely approximate in real life . special mention should be make of arnold johnson performance represent he successfully avoid have his character lapse into either sociopathy or buffoonery . i would rather watch this than to sir with love any old day .
