Charles Burnett is a master of American cinema who led the way for black independent filmmakers to tell their stories on-screen. On the Channel, watch his revelatory second feature, the wise, funny, heartbreaking, and timeless MY BROTHER'S WEDDING (1983). criterionchannel.com/charles…
First play I saw on Broadway was Ragtime with these all stars. Still have vivid memories of hearing “Gettin’ Ready Rag” for the first time ⭐️
