My only regret is that the music is unavailable. The music behind the closing is very nice.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yet Another Very Classy Performance By Ms. O'Toole!
This movie is about an African American who travels to the Deep South Of America to uncover the truth behind the lynching of his father 30 years ago. Upon his arrival he is greeted with scorn, lies and evasion which only makes him more determined to discover the truth. Gregory Hines gives a memorable and powerful performance in this film which is enhanced by the beautiful Ms. O'Toole who I believe was destined for True Stardom.This very classy lady has never given a bad performance in her life and I am happy to see that she is now appearing in the TV Series Smallville. This movie is tough, gritty and very realistic. Bravo to all concerned with the making of this very fine film.
