My Review

Eartha Kitt and Sammy Davis Jr. star in a drama film called “Anna Lucasta.” Kitt plays the title role of a woman in crisis, i.e., romantic problems and family problems. Director Arnold Laven did a good job of telling the story with a largely African-American cast. It was a remake of a 1949 drama of the same name starring Paulette Goddard. Philip Yordon wrote the screenplay for both films, and, before that, a Broadway play, also of the same name.

Co-stars include Henry Scott, Frederick O’Neal, Rex Ingram, Alvin Childress, James Edwards, Rosetta LeNoire, and Georgia Burke. The musical score was composed by Elmer Bernstein. “Anna Lucasta” was a flop at the box office for Longridge Enterprises and United Artists.
