Film History 101: Nothing But a Man
| Event: |
Film History 101: Nothing But a Man A true landmark of American cinema and African-American screen representation, Nothing But a Man portrays the poignant relationship between a preacherŐs daughter (jazz singer Abbey Lincoln) and a railroad man and single dad (Ivan Dixon). After the two marry, they confront a host of problems including racism, school integration, unemployment, and family conflict. Against this detailed social backdrop (which is a powerful document of Jim Crow-era restrictions), the film portrays Duff and Josie as fully-fleshed out individuals, complex and contradictory, in a way rare for movies about black characters at the time.
