Exclusive: BET+ has set an action thriller movie about a deadly dinner party starring Natasha Marc (Mayor of Kingstown) and Robert Ri’chard (Coach Carter).
RSVP follows Tesha Colman (Marc), an aspiring author who attends what seems to be an elegant dinner party hosted by the enigmatic Maurice Wright (Ri’chard).

John M. Stahl’s superior melodrama is a focus point for the study of African-Americans in Hollywood. Businesswoman Claudette Colbert a housekeeper Louise Beavers raise their daughters together for a story that expresses the racial divide in simple terms. Determined to pass for white, Beavers’ daughter Fredi Washington rejects her mother outright. The tale of motherly sacrifice is in some ways more honest than later ‘social justice’ films about race, yet it sticks closely to Hollywood’s segregationist rules.
