You sound to me like a bigot. You have eyes that are funny. Elgar is a rich white girl, twenty-nine years old, who recently purchased a rental property in the ghetto. He acts as the landlord and initially wants to demolish the property and build a house; however, he has some reluctance in constructing his dream home after getting to know the residents.Will Elgar succumb to his family members ' peer pressure or keep the property as it is? "You know what NAACP stands for? they are not always colored people." The Land Lord is delivered by Hal Ashby, producer of Harold and Maude, The Last Chapter, Coming Home, Being There, Shampoo, and The Slugger's Wife.For this picture, the plot is fun and entertaining to watch unfold, but not too original or special. The characters are intriguing and the script has been written reasonably well. The cast includes Beau Bridges, Lee Grant, Diana Sands, Louis Gossett, and Marki Bey. "I think you've got a series of castrations."I found this movie enjoyable and entertaining to watch unfold, but some scenes were boring, some interesting, and some humorous. This movie was worth watching once, but in the classroom I wouldn't suggest it was shifting society or worth watching. "
