A Raisin in the Sun

...the heart of this drama beats loudly to the pulse of American dreams.

...is a perfectly serviceable television adaptation of the recent Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansbury’s classic 1959 play...

The performances are uniformly excellent, with Poitier illuminating the limitations placed on black men in American society...

Sure, it's corny, dated, preachy,stagy, and didactic, but it's also powerful, soulful, and graced with fine performances, even from superstars better...
