Movie Reviews of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman

Movie Review: After all these years it STILL stays with me....
Summary: 5 Stars

My history teacher in high school gave us extra credit to watch this when it first came on TV. Now this was in the Deep South in the mid 70s. We were well on our way to integration but still working on it. As a white guy, this movie showed me things I had never thought about. Very moving and thought-provoking. The performance of Ms. Tyson is magnificent! I have never forgotten this show and I have to say I became a better person for having seen it. Now how many movies have done that for me? Few.

Summary of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman

Story of a black woman in the south who was born to slvery in the 1850s & lives to become a part of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 01/11/2005 Starring: Cicely Tyson Run time: 150 minutes
This 1973 television movie about 110 years of American history as seen through the eyes of a black woman from Louisiana (Cicely Tyson) is a terrific achievement, a window onto racism from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. Tyson gives a career performance as the title character, whose personal life is inextricably woven into the fabric of the African American struggle for equality. A mixture of the sentimental and the unflinching, this is the kind of educational experience that fully engages a viewer. --Tom Keogh
