Totally unbelievable but so unusual...

I know that an unbelievable thing is obviously unusual, and this feature certainly is, inspired by actual events - at least it seems to be - but I loved this one. I love this kind of surprising topics, and this one is pulled by a very convincing Joanne Woodward.

Seeing How the Other Half Lives

The film is realistic in its portrayal of the barrio of L.A. A feisty middle-aged divorced white woman has her car vandalized by some teenage Chicano boys, and she goes into their neighborhoods to track them down and demand payment for the damages (a total of $340 for a set of steel-belted radial tires). Is she going to be able to get the money? Watch the movie and find out.
