841. At the Movies, May 1961

Jim got #840!


This story began as a Broadway play in 1959. Considered a risky production at the time, now it's a Hollywood movie, and its popularity will endure for quite some time. It will be back on Broadway in 1973 as a musical, and again as a play in 2004. TV movie versions will be made in 1989, 2007, and 2031.

Right actor, but that's not the film. Watch for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in December, 1967!

It's Claudia MacNeil with Sidney Poitier in Lorraine Hansberry's Raisin in the Sun. I read and teach this play in a unit we do on the American Dream.
