1h 37m
Directed by Daniel Mann • Theatre • 1974 • US • English
Starring Brock Peters, Melba Moore, Raymond St. Jacques
Daniel Mann ("The Rose Tattoo") transforms Alan Paton's novel of racial oppression “Cry the Beloved Country” into a tragic and beautiful film musical. Gilded by Maxwell Anderson's lucid lyrics and Kurt Weill's powerful music, this one-of-a-kind film is both a heartbreaking indictment of a cruel society and a poetic testament to the millions of forgotten lives ground beneath the heel of apartheid.
