CLAUDINE MOVIE REVIEW 

The 1974 film follows Claudine Price (Diahann Carroll), a single Black mother, living in Harlem, NY on welfare with six children, who finds love with a garbage man, Rupert "Roop" Marshall (James Earl Jones). The pair's relationship is complicated by their poverty, the restrictions of the welfare system and the hostility of her children, particularly eldest son Charles (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs), the voice of reality, who believes that Roop will leave their mother just like her previous husbands had.
