| Overview: | What every good would-be mayor needs...is a granny from the hood! In this sharp and humorous look at American politics, comedienne Jackie "Moms" Mabley makes her film debut as a lovable but cantankerous grandma, hell-bent on puttin' her local boy in office! With performances from Slappy White, Stepin Fetchit, and Butterfly McQueen, "Amazing Grace" is a warm, affectionate, positive and good old-fashioned comedy you'll revisit time and again!
A pious, church-goin' widow and grandma, Grace (Mabley) has a mouth that could take on the devil himself, and the resolve to smack down an even bigger evil: politics! When she learns that her neighbor, mayoral candidate Welton (Moses Gunn), is nothin' more than a white man's pawn, she takes him under her wing and hits the street...as his campaign manager! Now the blue-blood establishment has a no-nonsense, go-get-em' granny to deal with in a battle for the Baltimore vote!
