Honky (1971)

A dramatic film, set in the midwest, examines the consequences of an interracial relationship. Although Sheila Smith, who's black, and "Honky" start out as only friends, the two eventually fall in love. But their simple teenage romance turns tragic when resentful whites interfere – with extreme violence. Features a score by Quincy Jones.

IMDB

In a more enlightened age when interracial relationships are widely accepted, films like HONKY are pretty much abandoned by relevance and exist primarily as a time capsule. This is, nonetheless, a fairly decent 20th century American love story wherein the all-American blond-haired white boy finds himself quite happy in the loving arms of a spirited young ebony goddess. Predictable tensions ensue, and culminate in a surprisingly bitter resolve.

The real key to the success of the film is the acting. The gorgeous Brenda Sykes plays Sheila, a hip, pot smoking Black teenager who wants to rebel against her “cop out” middle class parents. Her quiet, casual sexuality keeps eyes glued to the screen because you don’t want to miss a second of what this enchanting ingénue does next. John Nielson is Wayne, her square, White boyfriend who wants to prove to Sheila how “down” he is. He has his own “hang ups” about race but is drawn to Sheila, to the point where she convinces him to flip a kilo of prime Vietnamese grass. Blond and chiseled, his innocent, blue eyed demeanor is the perfect foil to Sheila’s fiery willfulness. The great William Marshall (as Sheila’s father), Marion Ross of television’s Happy Days (Wayne’s mom) and Blaxploitation stalwart Lincoln Kilpatrick (in a sleazy cameo as a drug dealer) perfectly round out this brilliant cast.
