About Paradise House
A sassy, no nonsense madam runs a "coloreds only" brothel in Dallas,Tx in the late 1950's. While she and her house of tricks service their regular customers, they run into some very peculiar first time customers and their colorful expectations. She is forced to make a tough decision once she is presented with an unexpected request, that ultimately alters her lifestyle.
Directed by Arthur Muhammad, Tammy Thomas, Paradise House leans on a strong ensemble — Tammy Thomas, Yolonda Williams, Ruthie Austin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2015.
