“I saw this title coming up on TCM, read the synopsis, and KNEW instantly that this one I had to see. And like I said, I should have known. Poitier is probably one of the top ten dramatic actors of ALL TIME! Iu0026#39;m not sure Iu0026#39;ve ever seen a bad film that he was in. This little gem, was tremendous. I donu0026#39;t comment on many filmu0026#39;s but when I see one I havenu0026#39;t seen before, and itu0026#39;s as good as this one, I canu0026#39;t restrain myself. Watch it when/if you can, and you wonu0026#39;t be disappointed! There are many subplots and twists to this film, and it has many fine performances, including Telly Savalas, and Ann Bancroft. There are small parts, for a young Dabney Coleman, and one of Ed Asneru0026#39;s early ones as well. I am a classic movie buff, with over 800 titles in my library, and I simply love it when I come across a new one that I hadnu0026#39;t seen/heard of before. Like I said, Watch this one when/if you can.”
