Featured review
Progress Has been Made
Went through a discount store and found this 1973 TV film and enjoyed looking back at how much society has progressed since this film was produced. However, there still remains a wall that needs to be torn down between races of all kinds. In this film, Vince Edwards,(Spike Ryerson), "Invasion of the Space Preachers",'90,
plays the role of a fireman who had a family that grew up in this particular Fire House in New York City and feels threatened by an African American who is going to work in an all white station house. Spike does everything in his power to discourage Richard Roundtree,(Shelly Forsythe),"Wild Seven",'06 to quit being a fireman. These two guys even beat each other up on a handball court and still cannot come to some agreement. The entire United States is a melting pot and not just New York City an longer, Progress is being made.
