Nolte New York City Harlem black African American family relationship courtroom legal lawyer gambling crime melodrama (a great story of a black African American widow with two young sons in the Deep South in the 1920s; she takes them to New York City, thinking that they can receive a far better education there, but she has difficulty getting work, and her life is filled with hardships; she finally saves enough to open a coffee shop; meanwhile, one of her sons is an honor student who becomes a lawyer, and the other is a juvenile delinquent who falls in with gangsters and works in an illegal gambling casino; the "bad" son gets arrested for murder, and his brother is assigned to defend him; the lawyer brother is able to prove he was framed, and the bad son vows that he will reform his life, and the "good" son takes his wife, mother, and brother back to the town they lived in in the south, and buys his mother her old home back!) starring Louise Beavers, Edward Thompson, Reginald Fenderson, Monte Hawley, and Laurence Criner. Note that this is an unusual 1930s black African American movie, because not only is the first release movie paper from it incredibly rare (which is not unusual), but also the re-release movie paper from when it was later distributed by Toddy Pictures is also incredibly rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we were just consigned a number of groups of stills from all-black movies of the 1930s and 1940s. Such stills are far more rare than those of mainstream movies of the same time period, because the movies only played in all-black theaters, and few posters, lobby cards or stills survive from many of these movies. This is a rare opportunity to purchase stills from this movie! Condition: fair to good. Each still has varying amounts of deterioration and paper loss at left due to exposure to moisture (see our image). Most have tape on back of some edges (not put there for any restoration purpose) and there are some other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
