The Color Purple
Movie (1985)
Steven Spielberg's version of Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel telling the story of a much-abused black woman separated from her children, and doomed to a life of virtual slavery thanks to her brutish husband. Whoopi Goldberg's measured and sensitive performance in the lead was her movie debut, and Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Avery and Williard E Pugh are among the excellent supporting cast in this deeply affecting drama
