DVD Review: Jane Pittman
Summary: 5 Stars

This story is as told by Cicely Tyson who plays Miss. Jane. This movie starts out with Tycie, who later changes her name to Jane because of a soldier who told her Tycie sounded like a slave's name. This begins a story in the 1850's to the civil rights movement in the 1960's. Told by Jane at the age of 110 years old (played by Tyson). Following her life as a child slave, to where Jane gets married and is a free woman. Cicely Tyson is at her best in this movie. This movie will touch your heart. I highly recommend this movie to anyone. Thanks for finally putting this on DVD.

Description of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman

The story of the life an African American woman from Louisiana, from the time of her childhood as a slave in the pre-Civil War South to 1962, when she witnesses the birth of the civil rights movement at the age of one hundred and ten.
Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: UN
Release Date: 7-AUG-2007
Media Type: DVD

This 1973 television movie about 110 years of American history as seen through the eyes of a black woman from Louisiana (Cicely Tyson) is a terrific achievement, a window onto racism from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. Tyson gives a career performance as the title character, whose personal life is inextricably woven into the fabric of the African American struggle for equality. A mixture of the sentimental and the unflinching, this is the kind of educational experience that fully engages a viewer. --Tom Keogh
