Eve's Bayou
AroView: A sassy, old-fashioned Southern melodrama that unusually portrays affluent African-American life in 1960s Louisiana, not too far from Peyton Place.
A deceptively straight-forward yarn of how a ten-year-old girl came to ‘kill’ her father, this then-rare feature by an African-American woman boasts a radiant all-black cast, including Samuel L. Jackson and Lynn Whitfield ahead of a couple of especially-good child performances.
