Affectionately known for the role of outspoken maid Florida Evans on the hit 70s sitcoms "Maude" and "Good Times," African-American actress Esther Rolle proved to be as spirited and iron-willed off-camera as well. The gap-toothed, rather plumpish and plain-looking actress with the gravelly voice was born in Pompano Beach, Florida, the 10th child of 18 born to Caribbean farming immigrants. Her first important work came with the Negro Ensemble Company and over the years would earn a solid careworn

How I miss the '70's...simpler, more naive times.There's dialogue here that would never pass muster with today's PC police. This is the best work I've seen McNichol do, and her scenes with the wonderful Bruce Davison are truly lovely. Always good to see Barbara Barrie, though her role is a tad thankless, and Esther Rolle is excellent. Also fun to hear Anne Haney's unmistakable voice in the first scene. It's a TV movie, so the points are made rather broadly, but it's a worthwhile 100 minutes.
