Nolte New York City Harlem black African American family relationship courtroom legal lawyer gambling crime melodrama (a great story of a black African American widow with two young sons in the Deep South in the 1920s; she takes them to New York City, thinking that they can receive a far better education there, but she has difficulty getting work, and her life is filled with hardships; she finally saves enough to open a coffee shop; meanwhile, one of her sons is an honor student who becomes a lawyer, and the other is a juvenile delinquent who falls in with gangsters and works in an illegal gambling casino; the "bad" son gets arrested for murder, and his brother is assigned to defend him; the lawyer brother is able to prove he was framed, and the bad son vows that he will reform his life, and the "good" son takes his wife, mother, and brother back to the town they lived in in the south, and buys his mother her old home back!) starring Louise Beavers, Edward Thompson, Reginald Fenderson, Monte Hawley, and Laurence Criner. Note that this is an unusual 1930s black African American movie, because not only is the first release movie paper from it incredibly rare (which is not unusual), but also the re-release movie paper from when it was later distributed by Toddy Pictures is also incredibly rare. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
