This film seems like a white's attempt to portray the life of blacks in early twentieth century America.
Although some story elements are introduced which could have been interesting they are lost to almost total lack of emotion on the part of the actors; in fact their lack of emotion is unsettling.
Crafts has to get a D grade. The sets, costumes, vehicles; everything seems practically new. Any reasonably good acting is often betrayed by actors who are almost always perfectly coiffed, even when they are dirty and no matter what the situation no actor ever appears to perspire with the exception of the town cop whose shirt is almost always wet but never his face. He must only sweat between his shoulders and waist.
