Movie ReviewsA COOL BREEZE Guy De Federicis | east of here | 01/07/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "One of several Broadway Archive Series DVDs that chronicles televised productions of plays, The First Breeze of Summer, is an exquisite account of a black southern woman's solemn and painful retreating of her past as her family gathers for a birthday celebration during a suffocating heat wave. Civil rights aside, this story concentrates on the emotional plight of womanhood and the wolf that prowls in the back shadows of Christian conviction. A family Gospel singing scene with grandmother and grandson experiencing spiritual revelation is quietly shattering. The cast is superb, with notably, Frances Foster as the proud and saintly grandmother, and Reyno as her adoring and questioning grandson. The play, written by Leslie Lee, ran on Broadway during the 1975 season."
