The atmosphere was a mix of Hollywood premiere, Obama fundraiser, and Oak Bluffs summer fun. There were hugs all around for Attorney General Eric Holder, Obama senior advisor and seasonal Island resident Valerie Jarrett, Harvard professor Henry Louis "Skip" Gates, actor Chris Tucker, producer Debra Martin Chase, CBS morning show host Gayle King and Sony Corporation chief executive officer Michael Lynton.

Secret Service and FBI agents, assigned to protect Washington officials, moved discreetly through the crowd of moviegoers and celebrity gawkers attracted by the commotion.

” - - - “It wasn’t open to the public,” Mr. Hall said. “To be honest with you, I think it was the ruling class that got to see it before anyone else.”

No it’s a movie with Whitney Houston and a mostly Black cast and it is a remake from a 1976 film.

Summer playground of wealthy blacks from all over.

My husband and his buddies used to participate in the shark tournament in Oak Bluffs every July. A few of the wives took a house tour which consisted of the homes of some of the island’s prominent blacks. To put it mildly these homes were spectacular!
