Anna Lucasta

I loved this film 📽️ and the cast. It can be watch over and over again.

Excellent item

This movie makes me smile. I’m sure everyone has relatives with a variety of personalities.

Rare find get it while you can

Actually a good movie. It's nice to see "pre-rap" and "pre-destruction" of the black family unit. Sammy Davis is great but the remaining cast are excellent. Over all great flick.

I enjoyed this movie because it really could have been about any family. It had all the essential ingredience. Love between parents and child, greed, conflict within the family and within one's self, death and regret and disappointment and a happy ending of finally finding what(to some extent) you're looking for. The acting was very well done. Eartha Kitt had a great air of sexual appeal without being over the top or looking like she was trying to hard. It looked natural and yet you saw her characters vulnerablity and old fashion standard needs in one (which I believe is in most of us) Sammmy Davis character was really different for him. No singing or dancing(for audience entertainment) only briefly connecting to the storyline. You liked him and you saw the same mixture of character in him as in ANNA, so one could see WHY they originally got together and you felt at the end he would attain what ANNA eventually did. Someone who loved her for herself. I enjoyed the movie. It was a telling STORY, with all the elements to make it POP. It was the various characters that made it flow, without each ones role it wouldn't have made it as interesting as it was.

This is a well made movie. Yes, some of the production value dates the movie, and we know the actors are either no longer acting or deceased, but the script is good and there is solid acting.For those who only know Eartha Kitt from the 60's "Batman" series owe it to themselves to see her in this role. Sammy Davis, Jr., doesn't have much screen time, but he is nonetheless convincing. The rest of the cast is solid, and makes for a good ensemble.I can't help but think this movie must have been somewhat progressive for the late 50's. Considering this was a high production movie released in 1958 and featured an all African American cast, it must have caused some "buzz" for the studio. Regardless, the movie stands on its own merits. It's effective in all the right places; you'll pull for the underdog, and loath the schemers.

Anna Lucasta is a good movie in any era......Its superbly done and shows the great Eartha Kitt at the height of her sexual powers.......This was a sassy,sexy,beauty in her day.....She had "IT" Just like marilyn Monroe did.Sammy is at his best and brings energy and a caring side to his bad boy part.This film also has a part with the actor James Edwards A fine actor and was really slated to play some serious roles before Belafonte or Portier but could not handle racism in the Industry and spoke out when he maybe should have kept his opinions private. Great Movie.. That deals with a lot of family issues. A must see!! For anyone who appreciates that Black Hollywood era.Ted
