Review by anonymous (posted on 4-Jul-2006)

Some of the scenes in this movie was shot in my neighborhood; 139th. Street, Frederick Douglass JHS, and the Lenox Ave playground. I must have been around 16 or 17 years old at the time. I was approached to play a part playing basketball in the school yard of Fredrick Douglass JHS but was not chosen because I was too short. When I saw the movie back in 1964, there was a cameo of me walking up 139th. St. with a stick in my hand tapping on the school yard fence (I had quit a few nicknames; Stick Man, June Bug, etc.) I saw the film again on Monday 07/03/06. It brought back lots of memories of my past growing up in Harlem in those days. I was still in the movie but my cameo was cut down to a few seconds. I will try to purchase the film so I can get a better look at myself and my old neighborhood. I enjoyed the movie very much and give it 4 stars.
