This is sort of like a black version

this is sort of like a black version of all in the family or something, it might be a good movie for some mild mannered folks but its not an exploitation film

Crossing another unseen Blaxploitation film off the list

Crossing another unseen Blaxploitation film off the list, this one was a very pleasant surprise as it covers very different material from other films of the same era. We see a previously meek wife finally start to stand up for herself and her children with their (presumably well meaning) domineering father, and it's a helluva lot of fun. It was well worth tracking this one down, give it a look.
