Roseland (1971)

Featuring:

• Christopher Brooks

Opinion
I have no explanation for this madness. I came across this film (Roseland, sexploitation film) because the actor is the star of the Blaxplotiation movie, "Alabama's Ghost" (1973). He was second billed on the film, so I thought that he would have a significant role. I didn't even take in consideration what the film was about. Fredric Hobbs is the director of "Roseland" and "Alabama's Ghost". Christopher Brooks was only in the film for 12 minutes, but the weirdness of this entire scene is noteworthy for whatever reason you want it to be...
