Blue (Bill Cosby) is an airport redcap struggling to get by and support his family. He takes on several odd jobs so he can earn enough money to buy them a house and move out of the ghetto, even though his wife, Serena (Gloria Foster), would rather he work less and spend more time with his son, Vandy (Dennis Hines). At first, Blue is unwavering in his desire to earn more money, but when Vandy is diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia, the hardworking father is forced to change his priorities.

Very sad movie about learning to live when dealing with a fatal illness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Overly dramatic but very nicely acted by most in the cast. Gloria Foster is exceptional. Bill Cosby does well, but seems uncomfortable in the heavy and grim role. Good story, typical television production. Well meaning.
