"If He Hollers, Let Him Go!" (1968) is a crime drama written and directed by Charles Martin, which Martin based on Chester Himes' 1945 novel under the same title. The film stars Raymond St. Jacques, Dana Wynter, Kevin McCarthy, and Barbara McNair.

Anti-bigotry films were gaining popularity in the 1960s. Movies like "In the Heat of the Night," "Black Like Me," and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" are examples of anti-bigotry movies. The films were supposed to shed harsh truths about racism that Hollywood struggled to address. "If He Hollers, Let Him Go" was an extension of those films, and Raymond St. Jacques leads the way as an escaped prisoner wrongly convicted of rape and murder of a way woman. During his escape, he encounters a white man (Kevin McCarthy), who initially seems to want to help him, but knowing he is an escaped prisoner, manipulates to murder his wife (Dana Wynter). From here, the movie goes through a series of flashbacks of events that lead to conviction and his present escape to find the truth and clear his name from his encounter with McCarthy.

St. Jacques does an excellent job representing a new type of black character that would soon lead to the famed blaxploitation era. He was a no-nonsense black man that wouldn't soft-shoe for anyone. These were foundational traits you saw in "Shaft "(Richard Roundtree), "The Hammer" (Fred Williamson), and "Slaughter" (Jim Brown).

Directors: Charles Martin Writers: Chester Himes, Charles Martin

Starring Raymond St. Jacques, Kevin McCarthy, Barbara McNair, Dana Wynter, John Russell, Ann Prentiss, Royal Dano, Steve Sandor, Susan Seaforth Hayes, James Craig, Arthur O'Connell, Don Newsome, James McEachin

Storyline James Lake (Raymond St. Jacques, Cotton Comes to Harlem) is an escaped black convict imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit. While on the run, he runs into Leslie Whitlock (Kevin McCarthy). Whitlock manipulates James to kill his wife, Ellen (Dana Wynter), but James escapes, and Whitlock stages a robbery scene to put James into more trouble. Now James must prove his innocence to avoid returning to jail, clear his name from Whitlock's mess, and find his old lover Lily (Barbara McNair).

Available on Blu-ray.

Wednesday, 7 June 2023

At the end of yesterday’s recap, I expressed concern about the show getting a little too real with the whole Colin/Talia abuse thing. And I’m not going to sugar coat it: there was more today, and it was even harder for me to watch. I cannot imagine what this experience must be like for people who have actually been through something like this. This is my typically long-winded way of saying:

1. I never thought I’d have to put a content warning on these dumb things, but maybe that’s a good idea today. cw: psychological and physical abuse

2. I’m going to do my ever-loving best to make jokes about the rest of this, but those parts are just going to be straight retellings of what happened.

Well, at least things kick off with someone I have no problem making jokes about: Johnny Goddamn DiMera. He’s on his thirtieth “one more chance” with Wendy, and he calls to confirm that he’s supposed to pick up some carry-out at the pub and bring it by her place for their date this evening.

Which is a thing that’s definitely going to happen. He couldn’t possibly find a way to Johnny this up again, right?

At the hospital, Chanel (the third most dramatic person on this show) is trying to talk Paulina (the second most dramatic person on this show) down.

Then Julie (the most dramatic person on this show) enters.

Julie has been a character on this show since literally the first episode in 1965. The role was recast in 1968, and this woman — Susan Seaforth Hayes — has played her ever since. I have no idea what Julie got up to in her first half-century on the show, but ever since I’ve been watching, she just sort of barges in to a scene like the Kool Aid Man and insinuates herself into someone’s problems. This is another kind of person I would hate to know in real life, but I adore what she does for this show.

So Julie starts doing her Julie thing to Paulina, and Chanel, picking up on the fact that her mother isn’t a fan of hospital food (am I right, people?) volunteers to go get her some real food. Someplace far from Julie. Nice job, Chanel.

Meanwhile, Colin swings wildly between “I’m going to kill you for what you did to me” (throwing him off a roof) and “I can’t live without you so you should come with me while I lam it.” Talia is, rightfully, terrified.

Meanwhile — oh thank christ this batshit stupidity is still happening — Abe is still being held captive by Nurse Kim Coles.

And he’s continuing to pull some magnificent faces in reaction to her madness.

Speaking of pulling magnificent faces! Sometimes I’m a little harsh in my criticism of Jackée’s performing ability, but she’s giving Abe a run for his money as she’s forced to lie still and endure Julie.

Tripp returns home from Seattle and Wendy informs him that Johnny’s coming over for a date any time now.

I mean, what possible reason could he have not to? It’s not like he’s going to run into his ex at the pub and blow Wendy off.

Wendy starts to get a little impatient, encouraged by a newly-aggressive Tripp (this means he’s now willing to call Johnny a little shitty sometimes because Tripp is still inherently a kind and beautiful man) and texts Johnny. And Johnny replies.

DiMera, you absolute piece of shit. When someone specifically asks for an ETA, “soon” is not an acceptable answer.

So Tripp makes Wendy some tacos.  And I’ll bet if she asked him how long until the tacos are ready, he told her an actual time and not just “soon.”

Side note: I would happily do what this apron suggests if presented with the opportunity.

Chanel has decided that since she’s at the pub and Talia lives in one of the rooms upstairs, she’s going to go up and confront her. She tries to get Johnny to come with her, but he says no. He does agree to stick around downstairs though because, hey, he’s got nowhere else to be.

So Chanel goes upstairs and begins pounding on the door. Which I’m sure would make Talia feel great even if she were here by herself right now.

Colin sees an opportunity to finish the job on her and pulls the gun he stole from Officer Skippy.

Talia convinces him to hide so she can get rid of Chanel.

Naturally Chanel just barges right in, because she shares her mother’s inability to read a room.

Talia patiently (especially under the circumstances!) gets yelled at by Chanel, then leads her back to the door. Then she hands her something, mouths “help me” and closes the door.

Chanel realizes it’s Officer Skippy’s badge.

She tells Johnny about the encounter and Johnny, thank god, does not decide to play junior detective or to charge upstairs hisownself. Instead, he calls Rafe.

Back upstairs, Colin realizes the badge is missing and threatens Talia some more. Like, lots more this time.

But then the cavalry shows up. Colin briefly holds a gun to Talia but Rafe is able to get it away from him and arrest the garbage rubbish fire again.

I said this before and I’ll say it again: this was all extremely difficult for me to watch. One of the things I love about soaps is how they cut right to the raw, base emotions of human experience. Everyone has massive feelings that are extremely easy to read and then they’ll monologue to you about them for awhile just in case you didn’t manage to pick that up. But it’s all usually so exaggerated that you don’t get too wrapped up in it.

This was a combination of “shit, it’s probably really like this, huh?” and a cast that really sold every awful thing that was happening. It wasn’t any better written or produced than anything else they do on Days. It just managed to strike a nerve that made me feel like I was watching a truly artful suspense movie or something. Just for a couple of minutes.

Also, I’m a lifelong pacifist and I’m pretty cynical about cops. But god, I wanted Rafe and/or Talia to shoot this abusive motherfucker right in the goddamn face.
