directed by joan tewkesbury and adapted by sara flanigan and ken koser from flanigan' s semi - autobiographical novel ,
sudie ,
the production is atmospheric (catch that permanent wave machine in the beauty shop) and redolent of love and squalor .
set during world war ii in a small georgia town, the movie centers on the friendship between a 10 - year - old white girl named sudie (sara gilbert) and a black man named simpson (louis gossett jr .) .
filmmakers have long fed on the richness of southern literature, but seldom has a movie of the rural south captured the power of friendship and love as evocatively as
sudie and simpson
( on lifetime cable tonight at 9, followed by repeat broadcasts saturday at 6 p. m. and monday night at 9) .
the core of the story, however, belongs to sudie and simpson, and, fortunately for all concerned, they are captured vividly in two fine performances. the versatile mr. gossett, seen most recently as a shrewd gunfighter in'' el diablo'' on home box office, gives simpson a double spin, shuffling stereotypically in front of threatening whites, being his dignified self with carefully selected friends .
i love this movie. the friendship between sudie and simpson is so heartwarming. the story of a young girl who questioned societies prejudices and found a friend she could count on. this movie touches on sensitive subjects such as racism, molestation, abuse of power and sexism. i watched this with my children when they were youngsters and used it to open the way for discussion of these important issues .
there are no surprises here. simpson is trying to live secretly on the outskirts of the racist town. long ago, his wife died in childbirth when denied admittance to a hospital that would treat only whites. toppling by accident into simpson' s life, sudie becomes the daughter he never had a chance to raise. in case anyone might miss the point, simpson actually says at one point,'' you' re the little girl i never got to raise.''
set in rural georgia, where it was filmed,'' sudie and simpson'' is based on a 1986 novel, loosely autobiographical, by sara flanigan. the teleplay was written by ms. flanigan and ken koser. the time is 1943. most of the young men in a town called linlow are off fighting in world war ii. public signs warn:'' nigger, don' t let the sun set on you.'' sudie harrigan (sara gilbert) never did pay any attention to the signs. sudie, a feisty 12 - year - old, has never even seen a black person. then she meets simpson (louis gossett jr .) .

parents here have taught their kids to be terrified of blacks, and when sudie, scampering in the woods, sees a black man in the flesh for the first time, her stunned reaction (and ultimate bravery) is a moment that catches your breath and casts writer flanigan in the luminous path of such southern writers as harper lee, alice walker and carson mccullers .
very heartwarming, except for the creep that molested the girls. it was good that teacher didn' t ignore & helped sudie .

'' once a month for the rest of your life!'' hollers sudie.'' i ain' t doing it.''
sara gilbert proves what a talented actress she is in this film, even at only 15 she plays an amazing part. the film is set in 1950' s linlow, georgia and basically follows sudie who meets a blackman, simpson. she starts off being afraid thinking he' ll eat her, but the towns prejudices soon leaves sudie and they become the best of friends. a lot more happens during the film, but i cant give too much away. considering it was made for tv, this is a film with many elements, including comedy and a lot of emotion. i dont normally get emotional during a film, but sara gilbert' s performance was so brilliant .

beautiful movie about innocence, trust, kindness, goodness and purity, yet on the other side evil guile, abuse, and neglect. we see how good overcomes evil, light overcomes darkness and justice injustice. great movie that i recommend

the acting of louis gossett, jr. and sara gilbert was superb. i truly felt the range of emotions, trust, and confliction of their characters during that period of time / era .
what' s so well captured is the personal point of view of a 12 - year - old girl rebelling against the taboos in the narrow world around her. gilbert is sensational, right down to her mastery of a georgia dialect, and gossett is memorable as a survivor hiding in a shack outside of town and tending his secret vegetable garden. textured support comes from frances fisher' s staunch schoolteacher and an uncanny performance from newcomer paige danahy as sudie' s chubby, dim - headed girlfriend .

despite this sort of occasional thud, the film keeps bouncing back. there is more here than just another variation of soothing'' driving miss daisy'' racial harmony. this is also a story about sudie' s coming of age, quite literally. there' s her best friend having her first menstrual period .

he makes it look so easy! he' s naturally
wicked ,
but trustworthy. his art is where most young actors want to end up. what he does is so understated, it doesn' t look like acting anymore. this is the quality that many great actors said that inhabited late stage star, laurette taylor. recently, i saw mr. gossett in roots and he brought the same quality to that role as
fidler .
sara gilbert has always impressed me as a formidable actress. she needs to be given more dramatic roles and move in the direction of the great actresses like geraldine page. this role with gossett was a complete opposite of what she was doing on roseanne .
there' s nothing soft at the core of this heartwarming story. a gothic subplot of child molestation involving a white schoolteacher propels the emotional showdown, and the first image you see is a crude orange sign nailed up on a tree in the fictional town of linlow :
nigger - - don' t let the sun set on you in linlow .

during ww ii, young sara (roseanne) gilbert secretly befriends a black man (lou gossett jr .) at a time when a child molester is active in their small racist town in georgia. it’s like watching michael jordan dribbling circles around mere mortals to see the way gossett towers over the cast of this sexually frank but lax melodrama .
