A story about this — 7 years ago
I watched this on cable some time ago and I tell you, I loved it; For those of you who don’t know, Moms Mabley was one of THE foremost black female comediennes of the 20th century; pre 1960; she was known mostly in NYC because she was a regular at the Apollo; If you don’t know her, google her cause I got to tell the plot; But she was one of the greatest before Whoopi, before Richard; Anyway; this movie was actually sadly her last hurrah, but she packs it just as good; She plays this elderly lady who is just too dang nosy for her own good and happens to find out along with Slappy White, a plan for this candidate(Moses Gunn)who was NOT really a candidate to get some money earmarked for the black community, but was really going in his pocket for his own uses; But thank God Moms save the day by setting him on the right road and cooking some gooses along the way; It’ll have you laughing; check it out.
