| Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun was the first pIay by a bIack woman to be on Broadway and is now an immortal part of the theatricaI canon. Two years after its premiere, the production came to the screen, directed by Daniel Petrie. The original stars—including Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee—reprise their roIes as members of an African American family living in a cramped Chicago apartment, in this deeply resonant taIe of dreams deferred. FolIowing the death of their patriarch, the Youngers await a life 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.
