A Raisin in the Sun (1961)
Lorraine Hansberry’s play, "A Raisin in the Sun", was the first successful Broadway play ever written by a black female playwright. She was nominated for Broadway's 1960 Tony Award for Best Play. In 1961, The all black cast starring Sidney Pointier, Claudia McNeil, Ruby Dee and Diana Sands recreated their roles for the movie. This dramatic film has one of the very best acting ensembles ever to grace the stage or film. Standout scenes throughout this film, but one of my very favorites is when Lena Younger (Claudia McNeil) learns that her son Walter Lee (Sidney Pointer) has handed over $6,500 of her dead husband’s insurance money to a low-life hustler, who has taken off. The loud cries of sadness, disappointment, and total devastation moves your very soul.
