  • It matters now, as it mattered then.

    As a story about Racism, this smacks as hard, or harder, than Poitier's role in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner." Racism is only one of three, or four, plot lines to follow in the film. If the viewer(s) watch only for that aspect, they will cheat themselves out of a very fine film.

  • Good.

    It was one of the earlier starts of integration by the entertainment industry which is a good selling hub. Great expressive example of the problems black people had then and still have today.

  • Great movie

    Saw this movie when it came out in 1967. It's one of my top 5 of all time. Great performances by all of the actors. Powerful message about racial prejudice.

  • A Golden Oldie

    It's an older movie and it has the typical southern stereotypes, but it does have its moments of humor and it is an enticing story line.
