Movie Reviews of Separate But Equal
Movie Review: Couldn't be better
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie several years ago in the the VHS format, and now would like to have it on DVD. However, the price is too steep for me as of now. I'd like to be able to understand all the dialog, which I could when I bought it on Video, but my ears aren't what they used to be. I'll wait and see if anyone offers it on DVD at a decent price.
This is a great movie, the true story of the tremendous effort and successful fight attorney Thurgood Marshall put forth back in the 1950's to convince the country to desegregate the school system. He took it all the way to the Supreme Court of the US, and is a thrilling tale, very well-acted by top-notch actors Sidney Poitier, Richard Kiley & Burt Lancaster. Even though you know from the beginning what the outcome will be, obviously, it has you glued to your seat with excitement, while also producing a tear or two here and there on behalf of the unfortunate black school children, and inspiring great admiration for Thurgood Marshall, who himself was black. Everyone should see this movie! It's a wonderful history lesson, and far from dull.
