"I don't blame anybody for it perhaps other than myself or, I can't blame my family, I don't want to put the blame on them, but what I'm saying is, that I wouldn't have been able to survive this if I didn't believe myself, within myself, and known within myself that I had done nothing wrong.

Lest we miss the point, the proverbially wise and rotund black maid (Esther Rolle of Good Times) lectures the characters on the virtues of brotherhood. Add Director Michael Tuchner's fussy attention to period detail and lugubrious pacing and you have a truly endless Summer...
