The Liberation of L.B. Jones (1970)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 102m
Director: William Wyler
Cast: Lee J. Cobb, Anthony Zerbe, Roscoe Lee Browne

Synopsis:

A Tennessee funeral director, black but respectable, approaches a white lawyer to divorce his wife, who is having an affair with a white police officer. The lawyer wants it hushed up for the sake of race relations, but the cops have ideas of their own.

Review:

After In the Heat of the Night, here was an altogether bleaker, and more realistic, view of racial equality before the law, one in which there are no easy answers. It consequently did poorly at the box office, but is a formidable piece of drama with a great performance from Browne.
