The Sheriff (1971)

Starring:

• Ossie Davis 
• Kyle Johnson 
• Moses Gunn
• Brenda Sykes
• Ruby Dee

Storyline
It's an anti racist tale. The sheriff - Davis - makes an inquiry into a rape affair. And the rapist is a white man - Ross Martin himself, the mighty Wild Wild West Arthemus Gordon. His character is nearly as good as the one he had in EXPERIMENT IN TERROR. A nasty one. A f...racist you want to be punished. The study of characters is very good, and the acting too.

Honky (1971)

Starring:

• Brenda Sykes
• John Neilson 
• Lincoln Kilpatrick
• William Marshall

Storyline
A hard-hitting drama of two young people whose romance plunges into eventual tragedy. Shelia Smith (Brenda Sykes) beautiful, black and seventeen. Wayne Divine (John Neilson) is white, good-looking and (so he thinks) "hip." Both are students at a midwest high school and are drawn to each other at a football rally. But their mutual feeling of rebellion (coupled with Wayne's eagerness to "prove" himself to Shelia) send them down a road of no return that begins with a scheme to triple their money by buying and selling marijuana. It ends with the pair involved in one "bad scene" after another, until an encounter with a pair of rednecks exposes the dishonesty of the youngsters' love and brings the drama to a violent and tragic conclusion. Based on the Literary Guild novel "Shelia" by Gunard Solberg.

After a group of young revolutionaries break into a corporation's headquarters and steal $5,000,000 worth of heroin to keep it off the street, they call on San Francisco Police Lieutenant Virgil Tibbs for assistance. Though sympathetic to their cause, the straight-arrow Tibbs refuses to consider it because they broke the law, but when the group is then accused of a murder it didn't commit, Tibbs finally joins them in order to ferret out the identity of the real killer, while keeping his now rogue undercover investigation a secret from his SFPD superiors.
