I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

I seriously don't know why there are only 6 reviews as of this writing. The book is of course a well-known masterpiece of its own right, but this movie should not be overlooked. As it was originally made for TV, many of the more graphic and gut-wrenching details were left out, which IMHO didn't change the visceral nature of the scenes. The acting is perfect; the cast could not have been better. There is no "made for TV" feel to this movie and it should rank with all the other classics.
