Solid biopic of famed blues/folk singer Huddie Ledbetter, better known as Leadbelly, whom the film sensitively portrays as a victim of racism without minimizing the complexity of his erratic, often violent personality. Beautifully photographed by Bruce Surtees and featuring a fine performance by Robert E. Mosley in the title role. Read the complete review for Leadbelly
