Sweet Love, Bitter, a rarely seen predecessor of 'Round Midnight and Bird has a lot going for it.
Top CriticThis lack of convincing motivation is the fatal weakness of the film.
Though not a success, this independent black-and-white drama... is an unusual and thoughtful effort.
Though a sincere attempt was made to depict the problems surrounding black-white relationships, the characters in the film lack definition.
