Diahann Carroll received a Best Actress Oscar
® nomination for her portrayal of Claudine Price, a single mom raising six kids in 1970s Harlem. Claudine falls in love with good-natured garbageman Rupert "Roop" Marshall (James Earl Jones), but if they were to marry, it would negatively impact her welfare benefits under the rules of "the system." CLAUDINE winningly combines romantic comedy and family melodrama. John Berry (HE RAN ALL THE WAY) directs, marking his first feature in the U.S. following years of exile in France after being blacklisted in the '50s. Curtis Mayfield wrote and produced the film's terrific score, featuring vocals by Gladys Knight & the Pips.
