"Entertaining and absorbing! A comedy sleeper that awakens with delightful performances!"-L.A. Herald Examiner
What every good would-be mayor needs… is a granny from the hood!In this "sharp and humorous look" (The Hollywood Reporter) at American politics, comedienne Jackie "Moms" Mabley makes her film debut as "a lovable but cantankerous" (Variety) grandma, hell-bent on puttin' her local boy in office!With performances from Slappy White, Stepin Fetchit, and Butterfly McQueen, Amazing Grace is a "warm, affectionate, positive" and good "old-fashioned comedy" (Los Angeles Times) you'll revisit time and again!
A pious, church-goin' widow and grandma, Grace (Mabley) has a mouth that could take on the devil himself, and the resolve to smack down an even bigger evil: politics!When she learns that her neighbor, mayoral candidate Welton (Moses Gunn), is nothin' more than a white man's pawn, she takes him under her wing and hits the street… as his campaign manager!Now the blue-blood establishment has a no-nonsense, go-get-em' granny to deal with in a battle for the Baltimore vote!
