...being promoted to superstardom mostly look Anglo, leaving the darker performers behind. "It's fascinating to me, and a little upsetting, that this is still the white face of the Caribbean," says Santiago.

Meara McIntyre was sweet and never shrill as Mary Turner, the gal who made "Corn muffins or justice?" into a more-than-rhetorical question. It is fitting that, as the leads, McIntyre and Cooper had the best voices...
