Movie Info
Robbers Ray Biddle (Richard Widmark) and his brother are shot and taken to the local hospital. There, the two are treated by Dr. Brooks (Sidney Poitier), the hospital's only black doctor. The brothers assault Brooks with racist slurs. And, when his brother ends up dying on the operating table, Ray accuses the doctor of murdering him. Blind with rage, Ray works to turn the white community of the city against Brooks, who finds an unlikely ally in the dead man's widow, Edie (Linda Darnell).

Ground breaking film for its time as it bravely details the challenges a black man has to overcome even when he's accomplished much. The great irony of the movie is that despite the good intentions of the filmmakers, the studio still underpaid the movie's black performers and even bypassed putting the names of several African-American performers like the great Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.

A hard film to even open up: race relations, Hollywood-style, from the 1950s - I'll take a pass, scheduling my sermons on Sunday as needed. But this rises above the usual patronizing/sermonizing thanks in part to an intelligent in-your-face script, easy-on-the-tiller directing, and simply an off-the-charts job by the leading cast, of whom nobody collects an easy paycheck. It took me awhile to get to this one, over a year, and I was entirely wrong to do so. Superb work all around.

A really good movie, it's both a serious drama focused on racism and the medical profession, and an exciting thriller with criminals. Poitier and Widmark give great performances.

Richard Widmark is a "Negro-Hater" who blames Sidney Poitier for his brother's death. Intense but stylized social commentary featuring a rather nice performance by Miss Linda Darnell.
