-I think this is the third time in a row you've reviewed an MGM film. Although they made many and would later gain control of others via controlling the AIP library, other studios did make them as well.

-Lonnie Elder III is probably best known as the screenwriter of the non-blaxploitation Black film "Sounder", which would follow this one shortly in release timeline.

I haven't paid too close attention to the studios, but that's interesting. It might be something to make note of, just to get an idea of who was making these movies.

I'm considering doing a little detour to watch and write about Sounder and Lady Sings the Blues, since they both came out around the time of the movies I've been covering lately. I'll see if I can fit them in...

Sounder and Lady were both Paramount films. Trouble Man, whose Marvin Gaye score is brilliant, was a 20th Century Fox film.
