Perfect sequel, thirty years on, made for TV in 4x3, a ratio our classic film lover PB has no difficulty with. Brisk, well written (Philip Rosenberg), beautifully staged film is strangely hypnotic, and moving. Poitier doesn't point and is supported by Christian Payton, Dana Eskelson, Fernando Lopez et al. with Judy Geeson and Lulu in brief cameos.
"When you act a scene with Sidney Poitier he listens intently to every word you say. You can feel your words hit him. He makes the scene utterly real." (Judy quoted in Aram Goudsozian's book, source unknown.)
