Get Christie Love! (1974 TV Movie)
8/10
Enough Already! Okay, Folks, She Had Brown Skin!

These reviewers prove that Americans are so obsessed with color, that they cannot even write a review without making a big deal out of the fact that the leading lady wasn't white with "blond eyes and blue hair!"

When I watch "Get Christy Love," all I can think of is how enjoyable this movie is and how beautiful and delightful Terera Graves is in the title role! People,we get it! She had brown skin. What do you expect her to do? Explode or turn to stone? Enough already! For the rest of us HUMAN BEINGS, just sit back and enjoy this interesting film.

Note: There was talk that Whitney Houston expressed interest in making a big screen version based on this character. But, like most stars of color, they sit back and wait for Hollywood to call (they are NOT going to call) and before they know it, they are too old to play the part. Why didn't Houston hire a screenwriter and put her money where her mouth was? She would have been perfect for this role.
