I never check the free papers so end up missing out on half of the best shit going on, including this movie when it just played in L.A., but I'm looking forward to finally getting to see it when it comes out on DVD.

fun fact: it was copyright laws surrounding the r & b used on the soundtrack (i.e. like the music playing on the radio in this scene) that kept this movie from an official release for the past thirty years (despite a growing cult/massive critical acclaim). apparently there was a lot of legal stuff surrounding this dinah washington song called "this bitter earth," which plays during one of its best moments.
anyway, i hope you get a chnace to give this one a look. if it doesn't show up on dvd soon, let me know. i can almost certainly DL it online and send it to you, in grand defiance of the copyright BS that kept it from surfacing to begin with!
oh, and i'll give you a call later...
i saw this in a jeanie allen temple university film class. what a surprise, i forgot about this one, really good.
