Loved it to pieces....literally!

I first saw this on PBS and made a copy,and watched it until the tape broke! Unfortunately, this is not available on DVD, and a VHS copy is incredibly expensive to buy.

Written by the late Ossie Davis, the story takes place a long time ago. Purlie (Robert Guillaume)is determined to get his mother's money from IL' Cap'n (Brandon Maggart) to buy Big Bethel, a church that IL' Cap'n wants gone. Knowing the problem he faces, he uses Lutibelle (Melba Moore)because she's a look-alike to a long-lost relative. With the help of Gitlow (Sherman Hemsley), Purlie manages to get his plan in motion, but not without a few stumbling blocks.

The songs are great and Melba Moore steals the show (And has a great set of pipes, too!)
