Gone Are the Days! (aka Purlie Victorious / The Man From C.O.T.T.O.N.) is a 1963 American comedy-drama film starring Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee and Godfrey Cambridge. It is based on the 1961 Broadway play Purlie Victorious, which was written by Davis.[1] Davis, Dee, Cambridge, Beah Richards, Alan Alda and Sorrell Booke reprised their roles from the play. This was also Alda's film debut.
A young, idealistic man returns home to the plantation where he grew up in servitude. With him, he brings his fiance, Lutiebelle, in hopes of convincing the plantation owner that she is really his cousin in order to secure the family inheritance. To aid in the comic complications that follow are his family members Missy and Gitlow, and the plantation owners endearing (but ineffectual) son Charlie. - Wikipedia/TCM Database

Ruby Dee has a sister named Eurie who worked with my mom at Huron Rd Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. Ruby and her hubby (Ossie Davis) came for a visit. Eurie shared with them some hot tamales that my mom had made. They loved them. That made my mom soooo happy! I still have that recipe.

Ossie Davis' absolutely magical writing and performance is the best I've ever seen! I'm so grateful to know movies like this existed, and I'm so glad I get to revisit some I've seen through the decades, especially the 60's and 70's. I feel I could write volumes about this production, all saying, wow!*

In the '60s, when I was a child, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee visited Montclair NJ to visit Mr. and Mrs Jones. Almost every 4th of July...they'd visit the Jones family. the Jones were my grandparents' best friends, they attended St Mark's Church...we were pre-teens and there were no selfie cell phones or even the idea of intruding on their privacy by taking pictures...
