Lilies of the Field is my favorite of his. My father shared it with me and was one of his favorite movies.

They don’t make them like this any more.

He was a tremendous actor and a decent human being. What a loss.

You would be arrested for hate crimes for even pitching the story.

I mean no insult to the late Sidney Poitier, but I have long felt the James Edward’s was a better actor. Edwards’ role in Home of The Brave was years ahead of anything in Poitier’s career. For some reason he was passed by and overshadowed by Poitier.

Yes, several movies of that era promoted record companies and recording artists. There would be a muffled melodrama strewn with bands onstage doing their hit songs (or wannabee hits). I saw several of them at drive-in theaters back in the day (well, I saw maybe half of each movie, knowwhaddamean, vern?).

Betty White, Peter Bogdanovich, now Sidney Poitier — deaths seem to come in threes. RIP all.
