Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great acting, great movie
I watched this movie because of Sara Gilbert, wanted to see her in a different role from the wise 'Darlene' of Roseanne, she was amazing playing Sudie, very touching issue, Gossett Jr. is magnificent, what a great actor.! was worth watching.
Rating: - I really enjoyed this movie!

Rating:  - A bit slow, but still slightly interesting....
I watched this movie solely because I am a die-hard fan of John M. Jackson. John plays the character of Dr. Stubbs in this movie. I enjoyed watching his performance, but the rest of the movie didn't really excite me all that much. Anyone who has a problem dealing with racism or child molestation should probably think twice before watching this. Since the movie takes place in the early 40's, it's full of the attitudes of those days-- the idea that sex is a bad thing and women should be ashamed of ... Read More
