Claudine (1974) with Diahann Carroll and James Earl Jones. The story is about a blended black working class family who is struggling to make ends meet and it was one of the more realistic and understandable dramas I have seen in recent times.

There is a scene where Jane's Earl Jones is giving up and crying into his dinner and it's really hard to watch- really tears and sobbing. He was incredible.
