A Raisin In The Sun
Starring: Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeil,
Ruby Dee, Diana Sands
Director: Daniel Petrie
The Younger family, frustrated with living in their crowded Chicago apartment, sees
the arrival of a $10,000 insurance check as the answer to their prayers. Matriarch
Lena Younger (Claudia McNeil) promptly puts a down-payment on a house in an all-white
suburban neighborhood.
But the family is divided when Lena entrusts the balance of
the money to her mercurial son Walter Lee (Poitier), against the wishes of her daughter
(Diana Sands) and daughter-in-law (Ruby Dee). It takes the strength and integrity of
this African American family to battle against generations of prejudice to try to
achieve their piece of the American Dream.
