Bright Road [New DVD] Full Frame, Mono Sound

Description: Bright Road [New DVD] Full Frame, Mono Sound Title: Bright Road Format: DVD Label: Warner Archives Genre: Drama UPC: 883316483084 Release Date: 2012 A year before they shot to stardom in Carmen Jones, Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte made this inspiring film about a gifted educator and a lost boy. Dandridge plays Jane Richards, a fourth-grade teacher concerned about young C.T. (Philip Hepburn), a student whose indifference to school has even the principal (screen-debuting Belafonte) calling him a backwards child. Troubles as typical as a schoolyard brawl and as tragic as a classmate's death drive C.T. further into his shell. But Jane perseveres, hoping to help her student develop - the same way a caterpillar, in a cocoon C.T. guards, turns into a butterfly. One of the few mainstream films of it's era to have a largely African-American cast, Bright Road boasts impressive talents behind the camera as well as on the screen, including director of photography Alfred Gilks, lending his first feature-length film since winning an Academy Award for An American in Paris.© DirectToU LLC.
