Anyway, I ...             A Raisin in the Sun Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeil Sony Pictures, 2000 An American Classic In Black And White "What happens to a dream deferred?

It has me gasping for air, from laughing so hard! Especially the part where Billy Foster (Bill Cosby) is dressed in the weirdest outfit when he makes a bet with the big time hoods.
