Amazing Grace is a 1974 American comedy film directed by Stan Lathan and starring Moms Mabley and Moses Gunn. The film’s title is a play on words based on the name of the Christian hymn “Amazing Grace”.
Plot
Grace (Moms Mabley) is a widow who influences the local mayoral election in Baltimore, Maryland, after she discovers her somewhat slow-witted neighbor Welton J. Waters (Moses Gunn) is being used to run for mayor by shady politicians and the incumbent mayor to further his own self-serving reelection efforts.
Grace knows the politicians have no interest in the betterment of the neighborhood and are only interested in getting their hands on the money that comes into it. She organizes some of the people in the community, and together they devise a plan to thwart the crooked politician’s schemes.
