| Movie Haiku: | Noble attempt to film E.L. Doctorow''s award-winning novel focusing on the racial aspects of the American saga & eliminating most of the immigrant & feminist threads. Rollins (as Colehouse Walker) is surrounded by special guest stars in bit parts (e.g., James Cagney! Norman Mailer?), & he''s never able to fully emerge as a galvanizing center. |
