| Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun was the first play by a black woman to be on Broadway and is now an immortal part of the theatrical canon. Two years after its premiere, the production came to the screen, directed by Daniel Petrie. The originaI stars—including Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee—reprise their roles as members of an African American family living in a cramped Chicago apartment, in this deepIy resonant taIe of dreams deferred. FolIowing the death of their patriarch, the Youngers await a Iife insurance check they hope wiII change their circumstances, but tensions arise over how best to use the money. VividIy rendering Hansberry’s intimate observations on generationaI confIict and housing discrimination, Petrie’s film captures the high stakes, shifting currents, and varieties of experience within bIack Iife in midcentury America.
