❤CollegeBabe❤ They were oh so beautiful.People were coming down off of King's death still fighting for fairness and equality and just needed to support, come together and love one another and that's what we did. I was considered little sista and my brothers were considered little brotha.
My favorite blaxploitation movie of all times. I finally was able to get a copy of this movie on DVD on Amazon. And two all the characters in this movie that departed this life R.I.P
His secretary is Judyann Elder who played Lamont's girlfriend, Darlene, in the episode when Lamont gets his own pad. She also played Gina's mom on Martin. She's been acting for roughly 50 years...probably longer!!
Danielle S ....Rosalind Cash is her name...but If you put her and Venetta in the same room it would be very hard for me to chose...lol... it would be like comparing Jane Kennedy to Vanity, have a great day queen😘
a few days after watching this movie (in 1972), my girl friend and I went and bought what we called "Malinda Wig" We thought we looked just like her. hahahaha Takes me back. Thanks for posting! would like to see the full version.
Calvin Lockhart was very visible in 1970s "Blackploitation" movies. he was also a co-star of the First Artists-Warner Bros. movie,"UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT" in 1974,playing "Silky Slim",who,with his gang,hit an illegal gambling house,while Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier tried to recver some winning tickets,in this reasonably made comedy,which also featured Richard Pryor,as a wittless private eye,and some!
@Firelogger She was also "Diamond's" mom on The Player's Club, as well as on of Lamont Sanford's girlfriends on Sanford and Son...the lovely Judyann Elder.
Is Mr. Lockhart dead also? Man I didn't know Ms. McGee was dead either. Tis was one of the best Balck movies that they made! I loved his energy, when I saw him in the predator movie I was like hey that's calvin lockhart from Melinda, and people were like and...it then occurred to me, that these actors were not known to the new generation and that's so sad. I wish I could make them known to every black child on this earth!
Never knew this movie exsisted. A lot of these movies are out of print, tied up in legal limbo or they can't find the rights/buy the right to re-release them. Looks like it was a good one.
Please don’t sleep on TCM. They play movies from the 70’s at night sometimes. Saw this one a few nights ago…And this one is highly underrated. I refuse to call these blaxploitation…I view most of them as empowering….🎬🎬🎬
ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I SAW THE WHOLE MOVIE ON TH-cam AND NOW IT IS DELETED FOR WHATEVER REASON THIS FILM IS ALMOST 50 YEARS OLD AND IS GOOD ENTERTAINMENT FOR VARIOUS PEOPLES JUST REMOVE ALL AND STOP TEASING THE VIEWER WITH LITTLE 7 MINUTE SHORTS. THAT'S ALL...……...…...
I ve been dying to see films like this one again, but thats been since the 70 s. Now that its 2010, its not easy trying to find classic s like Melinda. I even tried screaching on Netflex, but no one has a slight clue on where to find it.
@dmovie27 Wow please keep me posted I have been wanting this movie for so long!! I kept thinking it was Lonette Mckee but it was Vonetta Mcgee my bad..Man I lvoe this movie Calvin Lockhart and she was so beautiful.
I agree this was one of the better "Blackploitation" movies made. I just looooved Ms McGhee. I must of gone to the movies theatre three or four times to see this flick back in the day. I wish they would bring it back.
I've been telling everyone that Beyonce Carter bears a strong resemblance to the late Vonetta McGhee. Beyonce should do a movie portraying McGhee. That wold be honorary and nice of Beyonce and the film industry.
I've been looking for this movie since VHS became a common item in the home. I would love to see the entire flick. I wanted to be Calvin Lockheart, or just like him, since I was 10yr old.
I have not seen this movie since I was a young teenager in Brooklyn, New York and went to the movies to see it!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!! Do you have the full version???? I'd love to see it!!!!!
@dmovie27 Hahahahaha you soooo right...This lady was beautiful and classy...even the one played on sparkle Lonette Mckee couldn't touch Vonetta McGee....Georgous. One talent Soul Sistah!
this movie seems good.would like to see the whole thing . it is commonly said beyonce favors vonetta mckee. have you seen the baron w/ calvin lockhart? that was a good lost movie too...
I REMEMBERED SEEING THIS MOVIE FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN I VISIT MY COUSINS IN (CLEVELAND OHIO). IT WAS THE SECOND RATED (R) MOVIE I HAD EVER SEEN. (SUPER FLY) WAS THE FIRST. THERE IS SOME NUDITY IN THIS MOVIE, BUT YOU WILL NOT SEE IT ON (YOU TUBE). LOL
OK you went way overboard. She sort of resembles Beyonce at certain facial expressions. The movie Melinda is on TV now on Bounce. I was watching the movie and noticed certain facial expressions she looked like Beyonce. I thought it was just me that saw that. But when I came here to this site I see I was not the only one that saw the resemblance. No one said they were twins; however there is a slight resemblance.
an amazement of eroticism,sadomasochism,mystery and sort of adventure but a whole lots of romance. loletta McGee is the vagueness woman of mystery just want her body on Calvin Lockhart. Mr Lockhart does acreal personation of DJ personnel the chief rocker Frankie crocker.RIP he's my idol.
I been reading some comments here and i have to agree .....im sorry but beyonce looks nothing like vonetta at all...... there eyes are totally different shape and size there nose is totally different different shape face everything im sorry i see no resemblance when i look them both up any way vonetta is /was super gorgeous and she has the best eyes!
So many actors from this film passed before they got old. RIP to all of them
The 70s was some beautiful times ...
Gosh i so wish i grew up in the 60s and 70s. it seemed like those were the best decades to ever exist.
❤CollegeBabe❤ They were oh so beautiful.People were coming down off of King's death still fighting for fairness and equality and just needed to support, come together and love one another and that's what we did. I was considered little sista and my brothers were considered little brotha.

Man I didn't know Vonetta was gone, she was the first crush I ever had on a movie star back in the 70's, what a beauty she was.
I've always loved this movie as much as Willie Dynamite Three the hard way & hammer,,foxy Brown,coffey...etc
Calvin passed in 2007. R.I.P. Brother.
Calvin Lockhart was fine! Classic movie.I never saw this one! Thanks for posting!
"your beautiful and I'm beautiful so its only natural that we would gravitate towards eachother"lol haaaaaaaa! Smooth!
Vonyetta McGee played her role she was gorgeous gloria was quite a card to with those looks and the way she used those eyes and head
Calvin Lockhart, Billy Dee Willams , Fred Willamson, and Richard Roundtree were major Black stars of the 70's era!
Rare and good classics movie 🎥
This is great! The dialog is pretty witty for a '72 flick
His secretary is Judyann Elder who played Lamont's girlfriend, Darlene, in the episode when Lamont gets his own pad. She also played Gina's mom on Martin. She's been acting for roughly 50 years...probably longer!!
Thanks for putting this up!
I would love to see the full movie again.
I like the background music in the scene where the dj and the light skinned lady are sitting down talking..........
Vonetta McGee is perfection
Danielle S ....Rosalind Cash is her name...but If you put her and Venetta in the same room it would be very hard for me to chose...lol... it would be like comparing Jane Kennedy to Vanity, have a great day queen😘
@@Dvco33333 Although Rosalind Cash is also in this film, the woman in this particular scene is Vonetta McGee..
@@kklustra ...thanx, I totally get confused by them...I think it was Vonetta that played in Richard Pryor's "Which way is up."
Calvin Lockhart was one pretty man!
Indeed he was...I was in awe of his features and swag
a few days after watching this movie (in 1972), my girl friend and I went and bought what we called "Malinda Wig" We thought we looked just like her. hahahaha Takes me back. Thanks for posting! would like to see the full version.
Live music in a club and smoking, oh do i miss the 70s.
awesome sound quality
Calvin Lockhart was very visible in 1970s "Blackploitation" movies. he was also a co-star

""Shove it MR. Bostick." :) Was Vonetta in a movie called ?? The Great Silence was a beautiful Woman as was the late actress Rosalind Cash as well.
@dmovie27 So sorry 2 hear that Vonetta McGee has passed. She was relatively young and a great actress & beauty. RIP, Vonetta.
I would love to have been born about15--- 20 years earlier, and to have met a wooed Vonetta. I'd be an old man now, but it might just be worth it.
Cool Cal
RIP Calvin Lockhart and Vonetta McGee

Even in her 60's she was still fine.

Vonetta Mcgee looks nothing like Beyonce that's an insult to Vonetta.I wish they had on DVD
@dmovie27 calvin lockhart is/ was the MAN!!!

@sher3394 Two of the most beautiful humans to ever grace the face of the earth.
Yes, I thought the same thing.
Calvin Damn Lockhart 😃
OK, Frankie's assistant...correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she play "Mother Water's" Gina's mother in "Martin"??
She got finer as she aged.gone way too soon.
Vonetta McGee
please Vonetta is way prettier and also down to earth.
I couldn't spend 2 seconds on a woman like this, in the end there is only heartbreak and longing.
You can buy this at twisted anger dot com.Look for it under "blaxploitation"....
I have the complete movie MELINDA!!!!!! LAMF!!!!!!!!
@hhtigger03 Try Sanity.com. I found The Liberation of LB Jones and Paris Blues there,both for under $20.
it's so unfair how can they have white movies from the 70's ,but not black movies from the 70's
sorry.My mistake...
@dmovie27 she died....oh my lord...
at 4:36...IT'S BEYONCE, RIGHT?
Beyonce can remake some of Vonetta movies..looks just like her
@danimcc1 Funny, I think she looks a lot like Beyonce.
at 6:14 bottom right looks like Eddie Murphy!
She's looks more hotter then Pam Grier. Maybe the 1st hottest.
+Christopher Bishop Yeah, she was more fine than even Pam Grier--no small accomplishment of nature.
I been reading some comments here and i have to agree .....im sorry but beyonce looks nothing like vonetta at all...... there eyes are totally different shape and size there nose is totally different different shape face everything im sorry i see no resemblance when i look them both up any way vonetta is /was super gorgeous and she has the best eyes!
Vonetta looks more like Solange than Beyonce.
+Jassie J She sure does.
She looks just like Beyonce from 4:25-4:32
