A different way of telling a story

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Both shows were quickie sitcoms about pairs of African-American sisters who ran beauty parlors. S&S starred Loretta Devine in an early role as the older, more conservative sister to Vickilyn Reynolds. Both were overshadowed by more distinctive supporting characters played by Stephanie Hodge and Leslie Jordan (who would stand out ANYWHERE). This one was a quickie, a cheapie, and attracted very little attention. Pretty much everyone involved (with the exception of the late Dana Hill) has gone on to better things.
