From back cover:
Steven Spielberg, gifted creator of Jaws, the Indiana Jones sagas, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial™ and other mega-hits, turned The Color Purple into one of his most remarkable successes -- a film that won the National Board of Review's Best Picture award, appeared on 10-Best lists everywhere, garnered 11 Academy Award nominations and earned Spielberg the Best Director citation from the Directors Guild of America.
Based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple is the richly-textured, decades-spanning story of Celie, an uneducated woman living in the rural American south. Forced to marry a brutal man she calls "Mr.," Celie turns inward and shares her remarkable women, acquiring self-worth...and the strength to forgive..
Winner of the Best Actress Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination, Whoopi Goldberg makes a triumphant screen debut as the radiant, indomitable Celie. Her impressive portrayal is complemented by a memorable cast that includes Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Avery, Adolph Caesar, Rae Dawn Chong and Akosua Busia. An exquisitely crafted, landmark film, The Color Purple will be treasured and talked about for years to come.
