...Orleans by Kansas City Mack (John Amos) and his boys, who feel they got bilked and want to work the same ploy on a rival gambler named Biggie Smalls (Calvin Lockhart).

The only consolation was a room full of rarely shown American impressionist oils and watercolors whose novelty if nothing else made for you yearn more. This desire was likely to be unfulfilled--museums usually give space to European art rather than the more derivative American...
