I missed this post (and the stream), but have a copy of the movie. Makes me laugh everytime.
"guidance, sister, guidance". ohh that laugh.
The article was interesting. Had heard/read short version of the C. Blackwell story origins, but not that much detail.
A few years ago in JA I was discussing JA movies and brought this one up.
The JA guy expressed some surprise and said "well you know the movie caused some controversy". Me: "really, why?". Him:" because the rasta had sex with the white American girl". Me:" wait, what?, she was topless, but I didn't see that".
I don't know if there are different versions of the movie, or if the sex was just implied, but I never took it that way. Our conversation moved on to other movies, but I still wondered why he thought they had sex and even more was troubled that it would cause such controversy.
