Gone Are the Days!

1963 · 99 min

A talky, stage-rooted comedy-drama that balances sharp satire of racial power with warm, theatrical humor and a bittersweet undertow.

Overview: A young, idealistic man returns home to the plantation where he grew up in servitude. With him, he brings his fiance, Lutiebelle, in hopes of convincing the plantation owner that she is really his cousin in order to secure the family inheritance. To aid in the comic complications that follow are his family members Missy and Gitlow, and the plantation owners endearing (but ineffectual) son Charlie.
How it feels: Satirical, warm, earnest and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Race, class, deception, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
