      Audience Member Didn't see it here! I saw it free and it was excellent! Was hoping to see it again but I'm not paying to see it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Frances H An excellent cast somewhat let down by a movie-of-the-week type treatment that has not held up over time. With better direction and more budget, the production values and character development could have been better. Medgar deserved better, but considering the date of this film, what is significant is that it was made at all. Medgar needs a better and newer film to immortalize him.
