Danny Glover plays the mysterious Harry Mention, a charming trickster who invades the life of a family and who claims to have (and may very well have) a connection to dark powers. In any case, his presence sows dissent among a patriarch (Paul Butler) and his offspring, the latter more interested in the legacy of mystical wisdom Harry may represent. Based on stories of superstition he heard in youth, writer-director Charles Burnett's film is a fine and funny accomplishment that intersects dream time and linear time, and it has the heart of a folk tale. Glover and Butler are very good, their characters locked in knowing rivalry. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews I love this movie. I have been trying for years to fine it on DVD to add to my collection. I hope it will soon be on a DVD format I can use. Everything else finds it way to DVD. What a shame this has not.
