Grateful acknowledgment and homage to a past generation of black Americans, ca. 1946-62, in rural Mississippi. (Based on the memoir by Clifton Taulbert.) Emotionally constrained, even rather flat and flavorless. And the directorial debut of actor Tim Reid is a lot of heart and not much eye. Good jobs by Al Freeman, Jr., Phylicia Rashad, Richard Roundtree, Bernie Casey, Leon, and, as the brusquely benevolent white woman in cat's-eye glasses and weather-resistant perm, Polly Bergen.
