Amazon.com:
This 1977 American variation on Lina Wertmuller's The Seduction of Mimi, the story of a stupid man's troubles in sex and politics, is a run-of-the-mill Richard Pryor vehicle. Noteworthy only for its casting of two good actresses, Lonette McKee and Margaret Avery, and Pryor's multiple roles as an orange picker, a lecherous old man, and a minister, the film is made without a lot of care or effort to rise to Wertmuller's satiric accomplishment. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Triple the Richard Pryor....what a Deal !
Richard Pryor is at the top of his game in the 1970's flick. At the time I remember it being a minor hit and seeing it in the movie theatre with a group of friends. Between the social commentary (that is still relevant today) we laughed our heads off.
His main character is a hard working but down on his luck picker who ends up on the wrong side of the bosses running the produce conclomerate when he accidentally ends up connected to a Cesar Chevez-esque labor mvoement leader.

Rating: - That negro's awesome!
The late great Richard Pryor delivers a usual awesome performance in the 1977 comedy about a troubled man regarding sex and politics. Not only that,he plays multiple roles,as substantiated by the cover photo. I remember seeing this movie when I had Wometco Home Theatre in the late 70's. Years later,I caught this movie on Comedy Central,with the profanities muted,of course. I dedicate this film,with his others,to the memory of Peoria,Illinois-born Pryor(December 1,1940-December 10,2005).
Rating: - "Very Funny"
Richard Pryor at his best. This movie had me crying with tears at times because I could not stop laughing at the jokes.
