This time it’s successfully told from the perspective of a black family, using all the situations lovingly brought to life from her father’s original script. Nothing is lost; all the unique characters of this inspirational slice of life are here to be wondered at all over again. Some characters on this journey receive warmer personality treatments than in the original and this, thankfully, adds to the enjoyment. Production is excellent, performances are exceptional (Cicely Tyson, along with the cinematographer; David Greene and all the producers were nominated for Emmys) with special mention to a thoughtfully designed music score by John Gromada. Recommended for discerning viewers who enjoy simple studies of life-inspired stories. Available on DVD and Foxtel Expand
