The Old Settler

[Tastey]

The Old Settler is the story of two middle-aged sisters, Elizabeth and Quilly, who share an apartment in Harlem in 1943. The sisters quarrel amiably, but they share a wounded history that becomes revealed as the tale unfolds.

An earnest but unworldly young man named Husband travels up from the South to board with the sisters while he searches for his beloved Lou Bessie, who left their small town a few years back to find a new life.

This movie stars Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen as the sisters and Bumper Robinson as Husband, who has an affair in the movie with Phylicia Rashad.

I thought the show was a very good presentation of black life. All the folks were very good in their role.

In the end, I felt her pain.

Anyone know if this is on DVD, I really enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with sampling some young meat.
