Robert Taylor Boston Globe I found it fascinating. Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times Scar of Shame is a fascinating footnote to the story of black aspirations in this country. Mar 25, 2006 Full Review Joseph P. Blake Philadelphia Daily News Technically and socially impressive, Scar of Shame daringly addressed the issues of race and class, and did it with serious African-American actors at a time when blacks usually played characters based only on racist perceptions and fears. Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Pittsburgh Courier Staff Pittsburgh Courier The Scar of Shame is a classic [film] presenting a picture of a cultural element of the race which is seldom portrayed on the stage or screen.
