This play along with a few other was one of the reason I got into my high school. My first assignment for my acting classes was to do a Frankie's monolog from this play. I was ready in two days. Got an A for this back in 84.
Congrats ! Well done !
Can’t wait to watch this! I love Pearl Bailey!
Pearl Bailey won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in Children's Programming - ABC Afterschool Specials: Cindy Eller: A Modern Fairy Tale for playing Martha Dermody.
Pearl Bailey was and remains so glamorous, generous, & so much much bigger than life all around... It truly is fascinating to see her immerse herself in the frumpy understated role of Bernice, and positively inhabit such a humble, simple but sly and earthbound character...
Wow thank you for posting this... for so many years i've tried to remember the "movie" where the girl who looked like a boy picked at her foot with a knife. I always pictured her sitting on a porch but now I can see that's just how the set was built. I couldn't remember who was in it or really much of what it was about (I was very young) but, something about the girl stood out so clearly in my memory. I really thought I had dreamed it. Watching it again today I can see why it stayed in my memory. Dana Hill was a wonderful actress taken from us far to soon... such a very sad loss.
Thank You so much for uploading this. This aired on television way back in the early 80s and I have been looking for it ever since
Howard Rollins was a superb actor
He and Chadwick Boseman , gone too soon.
@@jearl3054 I totally agree with you my friend

Dana Hill is REALLY good in this! i'm really impressed.
i've only seen her in "European Vacation".
Dana Hill was a exceptional actress she was only 17 when she played this role she was great in Fallen Angel too bad she died young at 32 in 1996
She is truly marvelous in 1983's "Cross Creek".
@@byronbenguche Dana Hill voice Max in Goof Troop and Jerry in Tom and Jerry: The Movie. Dana Hill slipped into a diabetic coma in May 1996 and suffered a massive paralytic stroke the following month.
Awesome play. Thanks for uploading it!❤
My sentiments exactly !
The late Dana Hill was in everything back then
right her and Gary Colman
So true @@yattamook ...so glad Reelblack has posted his movies
I loved her performance in Cross Creek.
She was quite a prolific actress. Incredibly talented. Left us much too soon.... 😞
@@Baffled-f9d I have a notion to second THAT emotion ! She was superb !
Thank you for posting this version.
I heartily concur !
thank you so much for sharing.
I agree 100 per cent.
I love to hear Pearl Bailey's voice
Big Mama in The Fox and the Hound!

I believe that I saw this when it aired. I wish that there was a regular broadcast of live plays and musicals. Especially since Broadway and other theaters have had to shut down due to Covid. Maybe the idea will catch on.
Reelblack is _that_ channel.
Dana Hill is a champ in this.
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !
The late, great Dana Hill was great in this 1982 network television movie!!
I thought the same exact thing, she was such a talented woman.Maybe someone will do her life story, and without a doubt Queen Latifah could definitely do the role Justice.
Great actors and very funny
Remember the days when the word "Queer" only meant strange and unusual and didn't pertain to a person's sexual orientation?
Like “gay” meant extremely happy & was rarely used.
@@ElleBrOw that's the reason I dont call homosexuality "gay"
@@Soul_Education Yes, because there’s nothing gay about homosexuality.
It still does.
@@hatednyc only to a few, it seems.
Loved Dana Hill. She died at such a young age.
I really enjoyed her performances. Quite a talented young lady. Her passing at the age of only 32 (from a stroke due to complications from diabetes) was so tragic & heartbreaking. 😞
I love this play!
You clearly have excellent taste !
Omg im so glad to have found this 🤗🙌🏼💜
I loved seeing this back in the day, and so happy to see it once more. They were all wonderful in this production.💙💜💙
For a quick minute, I thought this was Queen Latifah! Maybe Mama Pearl has been reincarnated--bless her soul!
Thanks Good Gracious?For your coment.
Thanks for The Member of the wedding 1982 .Perla.
Howard Rollins Jr.👍

🤤Wow.. the "eye" patch...it's always been here, now, however, we are waking up 🤔👊🏾👊🏾
Dana Hill was only 17 when she played this role due to her Type 1 Diabetes it effected her growth that's why she always played younger roles in the 80's she was great in Fallen Angel sadly Dana Hill died of diabetes complications in 1996 at the age of 32.Pearl Bailey was very underrated as a actress and a singer I loved her in the Landlord with Beau Bridges
Diana Sands Estelle Parsons and Louis Gossett Jr sadly Pearl Bailey passed away in 1990
About the Author McCullers, [Richard Wright compared her to Faulkner, commending her “astonishing humanity that enables a white writer, for the first time in Southern fiction, to handle Negro characters with as much ease and justice as those of her own race.” In an ad for the book in the New York Times, T. S. Stribling called it “the literary find of the year.” ] pub. Houghton/Mifflin 1946
Dana would have been great guest starring on Spongebob, Puppy Dog Pals, Loud House and the reboot of Muppet Babies.😊😊
Based on novel by Carson McCullers.
Indeed. She was a truly great author. Also wrote the novels "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" & "Reflections in a Golden Eye". Also, many short stories and the novella "Ballad of the Sad Cafe". She also adapted "Sad Cafe" for the stage and wrote the play "The Square Root of Wonderful". She was in frail health for most of her life & died after a series of strokes in 1967 at the age of 50.
Howard would have been great as a father or grandfather in a movie, TV Show, TV Movie or stage play.
Good actors are them all?That little one is something to recon with?With that mouth.
Julie Harris ruined the role for any other actor both on stage and the screen and Bernice IS Ethel Waters.
The silence of the audience during the opening credits is eerie. It’s an odd choice for a live TV taping
Watch the original with Julie Harris, Ethel Waters and Brandon de Wilde. It's much, much better.
I really that that was queen latifah in the thumbnail
Frankie Monologue parts: 37:32; 1:33:20
Another demeaning show for black folks to be grateful for. The writer may have been good, but boy, was she insulting and condescending, and well aware that her content would be so welcome. On a side note, Howard Rollins was one pretty black man.
