Summary: A Soldiers Story
Review: This is one of my favorite movies...It is about a black army officers death..It deals with racial tention and even racism within the black race..The investigation is headed up by a black high ranked officer which was very rare in those days and that causes problems too..U will see many stars Like Denzel Washington, the guy that plays Moesha's daddy, Howard E.Rollins from In the Heat of the Night, and even Patti LaBelle..This is an excellent film..

Summary: All the twists and turns of a good murder mystery
Review: This is one of the best murder mystery movies in years. It is superbly acted and directed. It appeals to all ages and the base depiction and military politics are all wonderful. Why is it that this movie is unavailable at most major video rental outlets??? Amazes me...

Summary: Excellent performances
Review: This movie takes a hard look at racism in the military duringthe 1940s ... The plot focuses around the murder of a black officer, and the Rollins character's investigation to find out who really was responsible for his death, in classic whodunit style. Especially worth noting are the performances of Adolph Caesar, Denzel Washington and Larry Riley, even though the entire cast is stellar. Patti LaBelle also has a cameo (and yes, she sings!). Riveting all around. Don't hesitate to pick this one up. END

Summary: The Classic Murder Twist
Review: Underated and only now available on DVD, this is a classic period piece. Totally overlooked are two musical performances by Patti Labelle, who is forced to sing in the period of 40's music... outdoes Aretha! What a shame the soundtrack is undeveloped and unavailable..Labelle never got that the constraint of such music results in a more powerful performance than in most of her subsequent work. Listen for yourselves and enjoy a finely crafted mystery, as well.
