Entertaining TV-movie (very playlike) about a family shackled by moralistic beliefs. Diahann Carroll is effective as the protagonist and Rosalind Cash is better as the prodigal daughter. Carroll and Cash light up the screen and make this worth watching. This is isn't a heavyweight drama but it's good. Check it out!!!
