A Raisin in the Sun (DVD)

A Raisin in the Sun (1961) starring Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeil, Ruby Dee. An inner-city family struggles with poverty. When the matriarch of the family (McNeil) receives an insurance check for $10,000, they all have different ideas about how the money should be spent. When calamity strikes, it seems sure that the family will fly apart. No movie I've seen, no book that I've read, speaks more eloquently about the struggle of being black in America. The subtitles are very good. Grade: B+
