Title Help
In reply to:
I'm looking for a movie from the 30s or 40s (maybe the 50s, not sure). The characters: A young girl somewhere between late teens and late twenties. Her "attendant" I think is a stereotypical "mammy" type black woman. Other characters are also black people and almost all male. There is one particular big husky angry guy. The other main character is in flashback, a youngish white male.
She is in a rural farm type setting. Apparently the black males are against the girl or out to get her or at the very least wish ill will towards her. The black mammy type is more protective of the girl and at some point stands up to the big husky guy against him doing her harm.
Somehow or other the girl becomes ill or is touch and go and recovering from an accident. She is relating the story of her life to that point and how she came to be where she is. The flashbacks of the storytelling are a little bit brighter. The most striking scene I remember is where the girl is in the graveyard and the black folks from the movie are there, standing behind their respective headstones. They represent a menace to the girl and death is impending.
