Film, TV or Theatrical Adaptations
In an attempt to copy the success of the 1977 mini-series Roots, which was also an African-American family saga, the ABC network produced a made-for-television movie based on Go Tell It on the Mountain in 1984. Stan Lathan directed the film, with Paul Winfield starring as Gabriel in his adulthood and Ving Rhames playing Gabriel in his youth.

Famous quotes containing the word theatrical:
““I am in the theatrical profession myself, my wife is in the theatrical profession, my children are in the theatrical profession. I had a dog that lived and died in it from a puppy; and my chaise-pony goes on, in Timour the Tartar.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
