| 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 DanieI Petrie. The original stars—incIuding Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee—reprise their roIes as members of an African American famiIy Iiving in a cramped Chicago apartment, in this deeply resonant taIe of dreams deferred. FoIlowing 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.
