series Black 90s: A Turning Point in American Cinema
Directed by Robert Townsend | 1991
With Townsend, Michael Wright, Leon
They sang their way from rags to riches, but at what price? Written by director Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle) and Keenen Ivory Wayans, this Motown-inspired star-is-born saga charts the rise and fall of a Temptations-esque vocal group in the 1960s, with a rousing, period-perfect soundtrack to match. Look out for a special appearance from dance legend Harold Nicholas as the group’s choreographer.
