DVD with the
ambitious filming of Gloria Naylor's novel "The Women of Brewster
Place" spanning several decades in the
lives of seven black women who live in a tenement on a walled-off street and
struggle to overcome racism, violence, and poverty. Well-acted ensemble
drama with everyone getting at least one star turn, thanks to Karen Hall's
multi-dimensional script. TV acting debut for top-billed Winfrey, who was
also executive producer. Originally shown in two parts. Followed by a weekly
TV series, "Brewster Place" (also featuring Winfrey and Cole). |
