![]() ![]() Four women dance to a song: one woman walks in on a man using the toilet (we see him sitting with his pants around his ankles), another woman comes up behind a man and hugs him, and two other women dance in front of mirrors. Men and women dance on what looks like a TV stage during the opening credits, and they hug and sway. Men and women dance with wiggles and hip thrusts in a few scenes, a woman dances and thrusts her hips. A man takes off his pants and we see him in his underwear. A woman in a short slip stands in front of a mirror (we see cleavage and bare thighs). Women wear outfits throughout the movie that reveal cleavage, bare abdomens, bare shoulders, bare thighs and bare backs. Two women begin to argue over a man and end up leaving together with the man (there is an insinuation that sex has occurred). A man imagines himself standing nude (from the hips down he's blocked by a counter) and we see his bare chest and a bit below his belly button. A man holds a woman from behind when showing her how to play pool, a man admires a woman and his wife threatens to slap him, and a man and a woman dance close including a dip. A man chases a woman around a bedroom asking for sex. A man and a woman kiss romantically several times in several scenes, a man kisses a woman on the cheek, a man kisses a woman's hand, and a man and a woman snuggle in bed together a few times. A man massages a woman's foot, then kisses and licks her toes. A man and a woman kiss passionately and the woman begins to remove her dress but the man stops her. A man and a woman kiss, they lie back on a bed, the woman removes her top (we see her in a bra and shorts) and they continue kissing until they are interrupted. ![]() Jack Benny and Ronald Coleman Try their Hands at O.SEX/NUDITY 4 - A man and a woman lie on the floor kissing (she's on top and sweaty) and we see their clothes strewn around a room (we see his bare chest and her bare back and shoulders).Deliver Us From Eva: A Film Derivative of The Tami.Forthcoming: Romeo and Juliet in Harlem.Please note that the material in them, even though I have done some editing to remove more objectionable content, may not be acceptable to all audiences.Ĭlip One: The men try to persuade Ray to date Eva. I've chosen three representative clips to give you a feel for the film. I feel that this is not a fair reading of Katherine or of women, and the film suffers as a result. Once she does, the shrewishness will be all gone. And the idea they all have in mind is that Eva is shrewish because (not to put too fine a point on it) she hasn't had a man sexually. The younger sisters need to get Eva (our Katherine analogue) out of the way so that they can enjoy their own relationships the men in those relationships hire Ray to get her to fall in love with him, move away with him, and then be dumped by him in some faraway location. I think part of it is the overall interpretation of the story arc. ![]() Unlike O, which, as far as I remember, involves African-American culture by way of contrast to white American culture, Deliver Us From Eva is a derivative of The Taming of the Shrew that sets itself entirely in Black culture in America-or, rather, what passes in Hollywood as Black culture, which isn't quite the same thing. I wish there were more derivatives like this it recasts Shakespeare in African-American culture.
