It's easy to get hooked by Claudine, a lean, funny, Nixon-era movie about a romance nearly undone by a patronizing welfare system. Diahann Carroll stars as Claudine, single mother of six children in Harlem and a maid working for under-the-table wages. Forever worried that her white caseworker will discover her meager, outside income (thus eliminating meager government benefits), Claudine further complicates her domestic situation by falling in love with Roop (James Earl Jones). An affable Romeo and absent but financially supportive father of several kids, Roop by his presence jeopardizes Claudine's official status as a mom without means. The couple's decision to go forward results in welfare backlash, personal humiliation, family strain, and corrosive behavior. A sharp script layers the personal story within a socially conscious treatment, while Jones and Carroll's special chemistry turns the characters into fully rounded people. John Berry (From This Day Forward), an interesting if forgotten director, brings a clipped vitality to this urban affair. --Tom Keogh

I bought a copy of the DVD from Amazon a couple of months ago...and I cannot tell you how many times I have watched it since. I am a child of the 70's and all themes and settings in the movie are a part of my childhood. I remember playing outside on the sidewalk in Harlem and just being kids. This movie makes me cry everytime it ends! When I have nothing to watch on TV I pop it in the DVD player and pour a glass of wine and just think back. This movie shows the strength and fortitude of two people ... Read More

This is one movie I saw by accident and now I own the DVD. I was born the year it came out, and didn't discover it until early this decade. It is a shame many TV networks don't air this movie like they should, that's one of my reason for discovering it late. Anyway, Dianne Carroll played this part to the bone, I don't think any other black actress of the day could play the part she did. Excellent storyline and excellent plot! I could relate to this very well, because I have 5 other siblings and my mother ... Read More

I really enjoyed watching Claudine I was just so happy I was able to find it. I never get tired of watching it. James Earl Jones and Diahann Carroll played excellent roles. I wish there was a part two I'd like to know how that would've turned out. The entire soundtrack is really awesome. I use Claudine as a relaxation as my quiet time. I'm really glad to know that really old movies are still available.
Thank You,
Amazon
