Movie Reviews of Anna Lucasta
Movie Review: A "Great" Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the life story of Sydney Poitier recently. (Recommended very much) This "play" was listed as one of the plays the young Sydney Poitier played in in summer stock. That's why I have been viewing several of Sydney Poitier's films like "A Raisin In The Sun" (very highly recommended also). This movie isn't quite up to "A Raisin in the Sun" but it's close. The acting is superb, the story is very involving, the writing is clever, and the star power of Eartha Kitt and Sammy Davis Jr. is strong. I think you'll miss a "good 'un" if you pass this one up---even though it was made in black and white---but don't get me started on that topic! Boland7214@aol.Movie Review: white hot !
Summary: 5 Stars
a white hot film with witty rapidfire dialogue that burns into the brain like a cigarette snuffed out on the back of your neck ! Eartha Kitt and Sammy Davis Jr team up and deliver a lifetime of drama in an hour and a half .Movie Review: Black Hollywood At It's Best

Summary: 4 Stars
A bitter, alcoholic "religious" father has an unnatural hatred for his wayward daughter Anna (Eartha Kitt) and when his greedy family hatches a plan to marry her off for money to the college graduate son of an old family friend, the old man nearly has a seizure. But he's brow-beaten into retrieving her by his scheming son-in-law. The father drove Anna out of the house years ago due to her alleged promiscuity and she's now a waterfront prostitute and the sometime girlfriend of sailor Danny (Sammy Davis Jr.). She's down-and-out so she reluctantly returns home with her father. But the unexpected happens and she falls in love with the young college man. Then the stuff hits the fan as the wedding day draws near as the father has plans of his own. Based on Philip Yordan's play, this b&w adaptation is juicy and well acted. Kitt is good as Anna and Davis Jr. matches her as the footloose Danny. The entire cast is in tune with the tone of the script and the underlying theme (incest) surfaces despite the restrictions of the time. Davis sings the title song and even gets to show off his dancing skills. The DVD looks good and is worth a look for those interested in rare, unusual films. Very adult for the time and very well done all around. Recommended.
