Featuring a star cast including James Fleet, Tamsin Greig and Olivia Hallinan, it was dramatised for radio by Brian Sibley.

Bestselling biographer Kate Clifford Larson offers the first account of Hamer’s life for a general audience, capturing and illuminating what made Hamer the electrifying force that she became when she walked onto stages across the country during the 1960s and until her death in 1977. Her permission in 1961, Hamer took her destiny into her own hands. When a white doctor sterilized her without As the Civil Rights Movement began to emerge during the 1950s, she was struggling to make a living with her husband on lands that her forebears had cleared, ploughed, and harvested for generations. Racism, poverty, and injustice permeated the cotton fields. Born in the Mississippi Delta in 1917, Hamer was the 20th child of Black sharecroppers and raised in a world in which At the DemocraticĬonvention in 1964, Hamer’s televised speech took not just Democrats but the entire nation to task for abetting racial injustice, searing the conscience of everyone who heard it.

Both are quite attractive and capable actresses, and Miss Duke is particularly effective in her first musical number. I don't understand how Patty Duke and Barbara Parkins got themselves into this movie. Mark Twain once explained why women were such poor cussers: They know the words, but not the music. There is also a lot of fairly mild vulgar language, shoveled into the script so ineptly that we can tell the scriptwriters (two women) must not swear much. That this cliché should be thought still serviceable in 1967 is a sad commentary. Miss Duke gulps and blinks her eyes and the handsome young man is cool and suave, and as she leaves she drops her purse.īoth of them stoop to pick up the contents, and as their eyes meet from a distance of six inches she says she's afraid she has made a bad impression and he says he's enchanted, or something. Having preserved an example of vulgarity, we should also preserve a classic soap-opera cliché. Side by side with this exhibit should go the one in which Neely O'Hara ( Patty Duke) meets the handsome young man in the lawyer's office. The scene in which Sharon Tate does her bust exercises, and most particularly the dialog at the end of that scene, should be preserved in permanent form so future historians can see that Hollywood was not only capable of vulgarity, but was also capable of the most offensive and appalling vulgarity ever thrown up by any civilization. Some moments persist in the memory, however.

This three volume adventure series was a good run, complete with compelling mouse characters, secret carrying mice, and the coming and fall of certainly brave heroes. Pretty deep for what at first glance looks like a children's book, but actually has much broader appeal. The fact the characters were talking animals only made this more impressive. I think I missed some of the impact on the first reading, but on the re-read I really noticed how much the author made us feel for these characters, whether hero or villain. UPDATE: I did a re-read of this one and was shocked at just how much emotion was in this story. You still may not like it, but there's a good chance you will be pleasantly surprised. It's probably hard to see how stories starring mice could be as good as people say it is, but the only way for you to find out is to try it for yourself. Really helps tell the story the right way. As always, the art is fantastic and the coloring is great. The quest is a time honored tradition of great fantasy, and this series lives up to it. This serves as a prequel to the very first Mouse Guard series, and we get to see a great quest. This is a pretty serious fantasy adventure, and using mice, ferrets, and other animals as characters enhanced rather than detracted from the story. It sounds silly, but let me assure you, it's not nearly as silly as it sounds. Think of Lord of the Rings, mixed up with a bit of Game of Thrones with maybe even a dash of The Odyssey.with mice as the main characters.
