Im in this film, im the kid that is crawling out of the garage, it was 1974 and i was 10 years old the other kid standing next to me is my brother . Charles Burnett is the uncle of my cousins, Angela Burnett , the little girl who stars in the film singing the earth wind and fire song . i always wondered what ever happen to this film and its release.

@milefilms This film wasn't even "officially" released until 2007 because of the soundtrack! Rights for the music weren't obtained until 2007 @ a cost of $150,000. Consider that against the fact the movie was shot for $10,000, over weekends for a year from 1973-74, with additional filming in 75. Some consider the movie a "lost classic". You probably already know all this considering your comments about the broken records, etc. I've yet to see more than this clip. Now I want to see it all!

The song on the trailer is SAD LOVER BLUES performed by Luis Russell. It was supposed to be in the original film during the dancing scene between Stan and his wife, but Charles literally broke the old record and couldn't find another copy. (This was the 1970s, remember...) Milestone used it for the trailer as a tribute. Interestingly, Russell's daughter Catherine did another version of it a few years back.
