Am I going crazy? I just check Netflix to see if they have this movie...they did not...I wasn't surprised. They did, however, have the 1966 movie of the same name. The 1966 Black Girl movie is about a Senegalese woman working as a governess in France...I've seen it, it's a good movie. Here's my problem, I can swear that the picture they have on Netflix for the 1966 movie is of Peggy Pettit and not the Senegalese woman. Check it out and tell me if I'm right or wrong.

Netflix has the one with Leslie Uggams now. They finally have it on streaming. I saw the African made one too. Very good movie. But the ending was a shocker and very sad.
shareI've been harrassing Netflix for a year now to fix that crap!!!The cover is of Ossie Davis' Black Girl, but the film is foreign film about a African woman who thinks she is hired to be a nanny, but finds out that the woman only wants her as a maid.
shareMy bad. But the African movie is very very good also. Don't miss that. Both Black Girls are very famous and acclaimed. But they do need to fix it. Netflix does that a lot. There is a movie called Up Tight and for months they had some other movie in it place and not the one most people know about. They have it right now. They did the same thing with a Liz Taylor movie and they still haven't fixed it, also a South Park episode. These are just a few of the ones I saw with the same problem.
shareThe 1966 movie about the maid/nanny from Africa was great, I was sad for her at the end! I am glad to know that netflix has Black Girl 1972, those were some mean sisters.
