One Potato, Two Potato (1964)
Outstanding ! child being raised and love in interracial marriage v. m.i.a. biological father returning to seek custody
Viewed this movie in the sixties and never forgot the court ruling on the custody of a white child. This movie explores romance between a divorced white woman with a Black man, their interracial marriage and the short-sighted ruling by a judge on the effect of a white child being raised and loved in an interracial household v. custody being returned to her biological father who has had no relationship with his child since birth. Opinions of family members, clergy and friends are explored, also racial intolerance . So sensitive is this work of art with a most heart wrenching, conclusion. I searched for this movie for years and have finally found it (DVD format)for sale at LEARMEDIA.COM
Frank's Place (1987)
Native of the North East finds out about, remedies , race relations and his roots with his relocation to the Big Easy.
Frank's Place one of the most intelligent comedy-dramas of the 80s. This show was underrated and was taken off the air prematurely. CBS seemed not to be able to place it in the right time slot. The episode of the deceased showing up in the back row of his own funeral was one of the most enjoyable episodes of ANY TV show that I can remember. If only....If only it was brought back in syndication.
Tim Reid and Daphne M. Reid produced such a wonderful show, it calls to your attention that well written, sophisticated, intelligent television programs many times do not receive the praise and viewing slot that is necessary to make it a mega hit.
